Preparation
Step 1
Whisk together egg yolks, whiskey and 50g sugar in a medium bowl. Set aside.
Step 2
Put the cream, vanilla pod, vanilla seeds and 50g sugar into a saucepan over a low heat. Stir well, and simmer gently, until the chocolate is melted.
Step 3
Remove the pan from the heat and add the contents to the egg yolk mixture a little at a time, stirring constantly. Return the mixture to the pan, and stir until thickened, taking care not to let the mixture overheat. Remove from the heat.
Step 4
Strain mixture into a clean bowl set over ice, and place the bowl into the refrigerator for at least 45 minutes. Once cooled, fold in the chocolate chips.
Step 5
Churn in an ice cream maker for 20 minutes until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
