Steps
  1. In a medium saucepan, whisk together the cream, milk, sugar and salt.
  2. Heat over medium heat until the mixture is hot and steaming but not boiling.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks.
  4. Slowly add 1/2 cup of the hot cream mixture to the egg yolks, whisking constantly.
  5. Add the egg yolk mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining cream mixture and cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon or heatproof spatula until the custard thickens and coats the back of a spoon.
  6. Strain through a fine mesh sieve into a bowl and stir in cocoa powder until fully incorporated.
  7. Cover with plastic wrap directly on top of custard to prevent a skin from forming. Chill in refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  8. Once chilled, churn in an ice cream maker according to manufacturer's instructions. Transfer to an airtight container and freeze for at least 4 hours before serving.
