Ingredients

  • 2 cups Sugar
  • 8 Large Egg Yolks

  2. Turn off heat when mixture this is completely heated.
  3. Beat egg yolks by hand or with an electric mixer. Do so until yolks are pale yellow and slightly thick.
  4. Temper the egg yolks by slowly drizzling into the one-and-a-half cups of hot half-and-half mixture, being sure to consistently whisk.

  7. Drain custard and pour into a bowl with the heavy cream. Stir to combine.
  8. Chill mixture completely and freeze in an ice cream maker until thick.
  9. Place container in freezer to harden for at least 8 hours.

Your call, but we'd serve this with something chocolate-y!
