Put 1 cup whipping cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until hot. Gradually stir half of the hot whipping cream into egg yolk mixture; stir back into hot cream in the saucepan.
Cook over low heat about 5 minutes, stirring constantly; until mixture thickens (do not boil). Stir in chocolate chips until melted.
Cool, cover and refrigerate about 2 hours, stirring occasionally, just until chilled.
