Chocolate Dessert Delight

Some of my friends refer to this unbelievably rich ice cream dessert as "death by chocolate"-before they ask for seconds! It's a yummy, festive, do-ahead treat.

1/2 cup miniature semisweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup chopped walnuts

2 cups heavy whipping cream
3 tablespoons sugar
