Pour mixture back into the pan and heat over low-medium heat, stirring constantly until thick (do not boil). Sprinkle remaining espresso powder into mixture and stir. When you put a spoon into the mixture and remove it you can draw a line with your finger on the spoon. Cool the mixture in the frig. Pour into an ice cream maker and allow it to reach a custard consistency. Shave chocolate into small pieces and add to ice cream maker just before you remove the gelato. Place in a storage container and seal with a lid. Freeze in the freezer until hard.
