- In a small saucepan, heat 1/4 cup water, the salt and sugar over medium heat until the water gives off steam (1 minute or so)
- Remove pan from heat and add 3 oz of the chocolate to the pan and stir until chocolate is completely melted
- Let the chocolate mixture cool until room temperature
- Pour mixture into ice cream base and whisk until smooth
- Refrigerate for at least 6 hours
After ice cream mixture has cooled
- Add mixture to ice cream maker and churn
- While ice cream churns, pour an inch or so of water into a small saucepan and bring to simmer
- Combine the remaining 2 oz chocolate pieces and vegetable oil in a heatproof bowl and place on top of saucepan
- Once chocolate has completely melted, turn off heat but leave chocolate on top of the pan to remain warm
- Once the ice cream has reached a soft-serve consistency, pour chocolate into ice cream maker using a thin, steady stream
- Transfer ice cream from maker to freezer-friendly container(s) and freeze for at least 6 hours
Notes
- When the warm chocolate mixture hits the cold ice cream, the chocolate will scatter and freckle your ice cream
