Ingredients: 1/2
cup
raisins 1
cup
water 1/2
cup
pecan halves 1/2
cup
roasted almonds,
salted, whole
1/2
cup
semisweet chocolate chips 2
ounces
unsweetened chocolate 1/3
cup
unsweetened cocoa powder 1 1/2
cups
milk 1
cup
sugar 2
large
eggs 1
cup
heavy cream,
or whipping cream
1
teaspoon
vanilla extract
Directions: 1.
Soak the raisins in 1 cup water overnight in the refrigerator.
2.
The next day, drain the raisins well and combine them with the pecans, almonds and chocolate chips in a bowl. Cover and refrigerate.
3.
Melt the unsweetened chocolate in the top of a double boiler over hot, not boiling, water. Gradually whisk in the cocoa and heat, stirring constantly, until smooth. (If the chocolate clumps or "seizes", don't worry - the milk will dissolve it). Whisk in the milk, a little at a time, and heat until blended. Remove from the heat and let cool.
4.
Whisk the eggs in a mixing bowl until light and fluffy, 1 to 2 minutes. Whisk in the sugar, a little at a time, then continue whisking until completely blended, about 1 minute more. Pour in the cream and vanilla, and whisk to blend. Pour the chocolate mixture into the cream mixture and blend. Cover and refrigerate until cold, about 1 to 3 hours, depending on your refrigerator.
5.
Transfer the mixture to an ice cream maker and freeze following the manufacturer's directions. After the ice cream stiffens (about 2 minutes before it is done), add the raisin mixture, then continue freezing until done. Makes 1 quart.
