Combine the coarsely chopped chocolate, pecans, walnuts and chocolate covered
almonds in a bowl, cover and refrigerate.
Melt the unsweetened chocolate in the top of a double boiler over hot, not
boiling water.
Whisk in the milk, a little at a time, and heat, stirring constantly, until
smooth. Remove from the heat and let cool.
Whisk the eggs in a mixing bowl until light and fluffy, 1-2 minutes.
Whisk in the sugar, a little at a time, then continue whisking until completely
blended, about 1 minute more.
Add the cream, vanilla and salt and whisk to blend.
Pour the chocolate mixture into the cream mixture and blend. Cover and refrigerate
until cold, about 1-3 hours, depending on your refrigerator.
Transfer the cream mixture to an ice cream maker and freeze following the
manufacturer's instructions.
After the ice cream stiffens (about 2 minutes before it is done), add the
chocolate and nuts, then continue freezing until the ice cream is ready. Makes
1 quart.
