2 cups whole milk
1 cup heavy cream
2 inch piece of fresh ginger
1/3 cup brown sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
5 egg yolks
3 tbsp molasses
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp cinnamon
5 1/2 tsp ground ginger

Steps

Simmer the milk, cream, and sliced fresh ginger in a medium saucepan over medium heat for 5 minutes, then remove from the heat.
Whisk the egg yolks, brown sugar, molasses, salt, cinnamon, ground ginger, and cloves in a bowl.
Slowly whisk the warm milk into the egg mixture, return it to the saucepan, and cook over low heat until it reaches 170 F.
Strain the custard into a bowl, stir in the vanilla and dark chocolate until smooth, and chill it for 30 minutes.
Churn the chilled custard in an ice cream maker, adding the candied ginger during the last few minutes.
Freeze the ice cream in a covered container for at least 4 hours, until firm.
