Melt 3 ounces of the chocolate until smooth, and let cool for 2 minutes.The best way to melt chocolate is to break or chop it into squares and melt it over a double boiler. You can also melt it in the microwave for several minutes on 50% power, stirring frequently and taking care not to let it scorch.
Chop the remaining 3 ounces of chocolate into rough chunks and shards, no bigger than 1/4 inch.
In a large bowl, whisk together the melted chocolate with the sweetened condensed milk until smooth. Whisk in the cocoa powder, bourbon and vanilla until well combined and thick.
In a separate bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the whipping cream until thick, soft peaks form that hold their shape. Add the whipped cream to the chocolate mixture in 3 additions, using a large spatula to fold the cream in until combined.Fold in the chopped chocolate.
Scoop the mixture into lidded ice cream container/s, and freeze until firm, about 8 hours.
