Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 cup granular sweetener for ice cream or granulated sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1/8 teaspoon salt
2 cups milk
1 cup half-and-half
1 egg yolk
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla bean paste or vanilla
1/2 cup coarsely chopped drained pitted cherries in heavy syrup (from 15-oz can)
3 tablespoons bourbon

Steps:

  • In 3-quart heavy saucepan, stir together sweetener, cornstarch and salt with whisk. Gradually stir in milk and half-and-half. Cook over medium heat 8 to 10 minutes, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens slightly. Remove from heat.
  • In small bowl, beat egg yolk until slightly thickened. Gradually stir in about 1 cup hot cream mixture. Add yolk mixture to remaining hot cream mixture, stirring constantly with whisk.
