Ingredients

2 cups heavy whipping cream
1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
2 egg yolks
1/4 cup Amaretto
1/4 teaspoon almond extract
1/2 cup sliced almonds, toasted
1/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1/4 cup sliced almonds

Directions

In a large bowl, beat cream until stiff peaks form; set aside. In a small saucepan, heat milk to 175°, stirring constantly. Whisk a small amount of the hot mixture into egg yolks. Return all to the pan, whisking constantly. Cook and stir over low heat until mixture reaches at least 160° and coats the back of a metal spoon. Remove from the heat.
Cool quickly by placing pan in a bowl of ice water; stir for 2 minutes. Stir in Amaretto and extract. Fold in whipped cream and toasted almonds. Pour into a 9-in. square pan; cover and freeze for 4 hours or until firm.
In a microwave, melt chocolate chips; stir until smooth. Cut ice cream into squares. Drizzle each serving with chocolate; sprinkle with almonds.
