  3. Pour hot cream mixture over chocolate and vigorously whisk until chocolate is completely melted.
  4. Return to medium-low heat for 2 minutes, whisking constantly.
  5. Pour mixture into a bowl and place in refrigerator for at least 1-2 hours, until completely chilled.
  6. Once the mixture is completely cold, stir in vanilla.
  7. Pour into ice cream maker and mix according to manufacturer's instructions. To harden ice cream so it is scoopable, transfer ice cream to a freezer-proof container. Cover tightly and freeze until ice cream is firm, at least 4 hours or overnight.
