Prep 20 mins Chill 6 hrs Cool 4 hrs Freeze per manufacturer's directions

Ingredients

3 eggs
1/2 cup sugar
6 cups half-and-half or light cream
1 16 ounce canchocolate-flavor syrup
1 tablespoon vanilla
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon almond extract
2 cups whipping cream

Directions

2. In a Dutch oven heat half-and-half until almost boiling. Stir 1 cup of the hot half-and-half into the egg mixture; return all to the Dutch oven. Cook and stir about 3 minutes or just until mixture comes to a boil (watch carefully because mixture will foam).

4. Stir in whipping cream. Freeze in a 4- or 5-quart ice cream freezer according to manufacturer's directions. Ripen* about 4 hours before serving.

From the Test Kitchen*Test Kitchen Tip:

Ripening homemade ice cream improves the texture and helps keep it from melting too quickly during eating.
To ripen in a traditional-style ice cream freezer, after churning, remove the lid and dasher and cover the top of the freezer can with waxed paper or foil. Plug the hole in the lid with a small piece of cloth; replace lid. Pack outer freezer bucket with enough ice and rock salt to cover top of freezer can (use 1 cup salt for each 4 cups ice). Ripen about 4 hours.
When using an ice cream freezer with an insulated freezer bowl, transfer the ice cream to a covered freezer container and ripen by freezing in your regular freezer about 4 hours (or check the manufacturer's recommendations).
