- Beat the egg yolks in a separate bowl until smooth.
- In another bowl, add the chopped chocolate and pour a ladleful of hot milk over it to melt.

Notes
For a smoother texture, omit the corn syrup. It helps prevent ice crystals from forming.
Make sure to cool the custard thoroughly before churning to achieve the best results.
Feel free to customize by adding nuts or other mix-ins during the final churn.
