Chocolate Chunk Ice Cream
Melt 1 to 2 ounces of unsweetened baking chocolate in a double boiler and add Stevita to chocolate for desired sweetness. Cool slightly, then spread chocolate onto wax paper and allow to harden. Remove paper and break chocolate into small pieces.
Halfway through churning the ice cream, open the container and slowly stir in the chocolate chunks. Close the container and resume processing the ice cream.
