Categories     Ice Cream & Ices

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 cup(s) sugar, separated
2 quart(s) heavy cream, separated
6 large eggs, slightly beaten
1 pinch(es) salt
1 teaspoon(s) pure vanilla extract
1 cup(s) toasted sliced almond slivers (optional)

Steps:

  • NOTE: INSTRUCTIONS IN PARANTHESES ARE MY INTERPRETATIONS ADDED FOR CLARIFICATION. THE BULK OF THESE INSTRUCTIONS ARE COPIED EXACTLY FROM MY GRANDMOTHER'S HAND WRITTEN NOTES..
  • (Lightly whisk eggs together until frothy, set aside) (Separate out 1 cup of sugar and set aside) (Beat 1 quart of heavy cream until soft peaks form and set aside)
  • (Over medium high heat), caramelize 2 cups granulated sugar in a thick pan and let boil until a good brown. (Stir often with wooden spoon to avoid burning)
  • In the top of a double boiler combine the beaten eggs, 1 cup sugar, salt and 1 quart of cream. When the custard has thickened, add the caramelized sugar while very hot. Strain and cool. (I'm not sure exactly what she meant by strain, I would just set aside pan covered by plastic wrap or airtight cover until cool. The plastic wrap or cover will prevent it forming a crust.)
  • (When cool) add vanilla to taste, then add the extra quart of cream just half whipped. Freeze in hand freezer - I mean by agitation.
  • Serve with toasted almonds sprinkled over top. (optional)
