Time 20m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 cups milk
1 cup heavy cream
4 egg yolks
1/2 cup sugar
2 cups Nesselrode mix (see recipe)

Steps:

  • Combine the milk and cream in a saucepan and bring barely to the simmer.
  • Place the yolks and sugar in a heavy casserole. Beat with a wire whisk until pale yellow.
  • Add about half a cup of the hot mixture to the egg-yolk mixture and beat rapidly. Add the remaining hot mixture, stirring rapidly. Heat slowly, stirring and scraping all around the bottom with a wooden spoon. Bring the mixture almost, but not quite, to the boil. The correct temperature on a thermometer is 180 degrees. This cooking will rid the custard of the raw taste of the yolks.
  • Pour the mixture into a cold bowl. This will prevent the mixture from cooking further.
  • Let cool. Add the Nesselrode mix and stir to blend.
  • Pour the mixture into the container of an electric or handcranked ice-cream freezer. Freeze according to the manufacturer's instructions.
