Chocolate Whiskey Ice Cream

This isn't quite what the Old Oligarch was looking for, but you don't have to cook the alcohol off, so it's a bit better than the last recipe. I'm really not sure if having the chocolate in it sounds all that good to me.

7 Large Egg Yolks
1 c sugar
1 c Heavy Cream
2 c Cold milk
1 Vanilla bean, split
6 oz chocolate chips
1/2 c Jack Daniel's Whiskey

Combine egg yolks and sugar in small bowl until smooth and lemon colored. Place cream, milk and vanilla bean in small saucepan over medium heat and bring to boil. Immediately remove from heat and cool slightly. Remove vanilla bean and add a small amount of cream to the yolks, stirring briskly. Slowly add yolks to remaining cream, stirring constantly. Strain through cheesecloth or a fine sieve. Melt chocolate over hot water in the top half of a double boiler or in the microwave. Stir into cream mixture and strain once more. Stir in whiskey and chill. When well chilled, pour
into an ice cream maker. Makes about 1 1/2 quarts.

Y'know, I'm getting the feeling that I'm the only person, with comments enabled, that hasn't been Sean Whited yet.

Avast!

It's Talk like a pirate day!

See, I didn't forget.
