In a separate bowl, whisk egg yolks until pale and fluffy.

Slowly pour the warm milk mixture into the egg yolks while whisking constantly to temper the eggs.

Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly until thickened, about 5-7 minutes.

Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract and chocolate chips until melted and smooth.

Cool the mixture to room temperature, then refrigerate until chilled, about 2 hours.

Pour the chilled mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions until thick and creamy.

Transfer the ice cream to a lidded container and freeze until firm, about 4 hours.

Scoop and serve, optionally garnished with chocolate shavings or syrup.
