Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
  • 2 eggs
  • ¼ c. granulated sugar
  • 2½ c. heavy whipping cream, divided
  • 6 oz. semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
  1. Beat eggs and granulated sugar with a mixer for about 3 minutes.
  2. Heat 1 c. heavy whipping cream in a saucepan until hot, not boiling. With mixer on low speed, pour hot cream into egg and sugar mixture.
  3. Then add the egg / cream mixture back to the saucepan. Cook over low heat. Stir for 5 minutes constantly until thickened. Do not boil.
  4. Remove from heat and stir in chocolate until melted.
  5. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours, until chilled, stirring occasionally.
  6. When the mixture is completely chilled, using the whisk attachment of the mixer, whip the remaining heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Remove chocolate mixture from refrigerator, and fold in whipped cream (the paddle attachment works well for this).
  7. Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to use.
