Chocolate Chip Tortoni

2 egg yolks
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup boiling water
1 cup heavy cream, whipped
1 6-ounce pkg. chocolate morsels
2 Tbsp. shortening
2 egg whites
3 tsp. vanilla
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup blanched toasted almonds, finely chopped

Combine the egg yolks and 1/4 cup sugar and beat well; gradually add the boiling water, stirring rapidly. Fold in the whipped cream; pour into 1 large ice cube tray. Freeze until just frozen. Combine the chocolate morsels and the shortening and melt over hot (not boiling) water. Beat the egg whites until stiff but not dry; add vanilla. Gradually add the 1/4 cup sugar beating until stiff and glossy. Turn the frozen mixture into a chilled bowl and stir until smooth but not melted. Drizzle the chocolate mixture into the frozen mixture stirring constantly so the chocolate will chip. Fold in the egg white mixture and the almonds. Pour into ice cube trays and freeze until firm.
