WHITE CHOCOLATE ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Put the chocolate pieces in a large bowl and set a mesh strainer over the top.
• Warm the milk, sugar, and salt in a medium saucepan. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the egg yolks. Slowly pour the warm milk into the egg yolks, whisking constantly, then scrape the warmed egg yolks back into the saucepan.
• Stir the mixture constantly over medium heat with a heatproof spatula, scraping the bottom as you stir, until the mixture thickens and coats the spatula. Pour the custard through the strainer over the white chocolate. Stir until the white chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth, then stir in the cream. Stir until cool over an ice bath.
• Chill the mixture thoroughly in the refrigerator, then freeze it in your ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions.
• Make White Chocolate-Cherry Ice Cream by folding very well-drained and coarsely chopped Sour Cherries in Syrup (page 185) or Candied Cherries (page 215) into the just-churned ice cream.
• For Black and White Chocolate Ice Cream, layer one recipe of Fudge Ripple (page 210), Dark Chocolate Truffles (page 211), or Stracciatella (page 210) into the just-churned ice cream.

WHITE CHOCOLATE ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Set up an ice bath in a large bowl. Put the chocolate in a medium bowl.
• Put the milk and 1/4 cup of the sugar in a saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat.
• Whisk the eggs with the remaining 1/2 cup sugar in a medium bowl. When the milk is simmering, slowly whisk about 1 cup into the eggs for about 1 minute to temper them (keep the pan off the heat while you do this). Then scrape the eggs into the saucepan and cook, stirring pretty much constantly, until the mixture reaches 180°F. Keep an eye on the color of the foam on the surface; when it turns the same color as the mixture, you're very close to the right temperature.
• Strain over the chocolate and leave for about 1 minute. Then mix thoroughly with an immersion blender. Set into the ice bath and chill completely, stirring often.
• Freeze in an ice cream maker, then transfer to a plastic container and freeze overnight before serving.
