February Ice Cream of the Month

                         Triple Chocolate Ice Cream

                                                    1 cup 1% milk
                                                    1/3 cup sugar
                                                    a pinch of salt
                                                    1 pint heavy cream
                                                    3/4 tsp. vanilla extract
                                                    3 tbsp. milk chocolate chips
                                                    3 tbsp. dark chocolate chips
                                                    3 tbsp. white chocolate chips

                            Heat cream and sugar in a medium saucepan over medium heat until hot.  Divide evenly into three small bowls.  It doesn't have to be exact.  Put milk chocolate chips into the first bowl, and stir to melt.  Put the dark chocolate chips into the second bowl, and stir to melt.  Put the white chocolate chips into the third bowl, and stir to melt.  Add 1/3 cup of milk, 1/4 tsp. vanilla, and a tiny pinch of salt to each bowl.  Let each bowl chill in the fridge until cool to touch.  Pour 1 bowl at a time into the ice cream maker.  It will take about 20 minutes.  When it's done scoop into a freezer safe bowl, and freeze for at least 2 hours.  Enjoy.
