Time 1h

Yield One and a half quarts

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 1/2 cups prunes
1 cup Armagnac
1 quart whole milk
1 cup sugar
8 egg yolks

Steps:

  • Ten days before you plan to serve the ice cream, combine the prunes and Armagnac in a covered container. Set aside.
  • To make the ice cream, remove six prunes from the container. Set aside. Place the remaining prunes and Armagnac in a food processor or blender. Process to a coarse puree. Set aside. Combine the milk with 2/3 cup of the sugar in a saucepan. Bring to a boil. Stir to dissolve sugar. Remove from heat. Set aside.
  • Beat the remaining sugar with the egg yolks until the mixture is pale yellow and thick. Slowly whisk 1 cup of the hot milk mixture into yolks. Pour the hot custard into the saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it reaches 175 degrees on a candy thermometer. Remove the saucepan from the heat. Set aside until cool. Add the prune puree. Refrigerate until chilled. Pour into the bowl of an ice-cream maker and proceed as directed. Scoop the ice cream into individual bowls and garnish with the reserved prunes.
