BEAT THE EGGS AND SUGAR, AND HEAT THE MILK AND CREAM
Heat the milk and cream in a saucepan over medium heat. Add 1/2 cup of sugar. Stir until the milk and cream are warm and steaming, or about 170 degrees.
To strain the custard, hold cheesecloth or a strainer over a bowl. Pour the custard into the refrigerator to chill. Chill for 4-24 hours, until very cold.
Freeze the ice cream according to the manufacturer’s instructions. When it is like soft-serve ice cream, add chocolate chips and let the ice cream machine stir them in.
