Notes

I use semi sweet chocolate in this recipe, with coco solids of 45%.  
You can use darker or milk chocolate if you prefer.  Darker chocolate will make the ice cream more bitter.  Milk chocolate will make the ice cream sweeter and you can't take out any sugar to make up for this because all the sugar is in the sweetened condense milk.  
Optional: ½ shot (15mls) vodka or similar 40% neutral alcohol.  This makes this ice cream scoop straight from the freezer.  You can make the ice cream without it, but it will freeze firmer and you may need to soften it up a bit first to make it scoopable.
