1. Mix the 1 cup sugar, salt and half-and-half in a heavy-bottomed saucepan. Heat to scalding, stirring occasionally and being careful not to boil.

3. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens slightly.

4. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract.

5. Melt the chocolate and 1/2 cup sugar in the top of a double boiler over barely simmering water; stir until smooth.

6. Pour the chocolate mixture into the custard; stir until thoroughly blended.

7. Stir in the cinnamon.

8. Chill and process in an ice cream freezer.

9. Makes about 2 1/2 quarts.
