Randy's Maple Walnut Ice Cream

Yield:
8 Servings

Categories:
Ice,
Cream




Ingredients:





 1 1/2 c  Walnuts; chopped


 1 1/2 c  Milk


     8    Egg yolks


     1 c  Maple sugar


 1 1/2 c  Heavy cream; cold






 1) Preheat the oven to 250 degrees and toast the walnut pieces until they


 are lightly browned. Allow to cool.


 


 2) Heat the milk with 1/2 cup of walnuts in a heavy saucepan. When the milk


 is close to boiling, remove from the heat; cover and let steep for 20


 minutes. Strain and discard the walnut pieces.


 


 3) Whisk the egg yolks and maple sugar together. Add the warm milk


 gradually, stirring constantly, until all the milk is added (be careful


 milk is cool enough and you do this very gradually because you don't want


 to cook the egg yolks in this process). Return this mixture to the saucepan


 and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the custard coats the


 back of a spoon (170 to 175 degrees).


 


 4) Pour the heavy cream into a large bowl or container. Strain the custard


 into the cream. Mix well, then chill thoroughly.


 


 5) Freeze according to the directions of your machine. After the ice cream


 stiffens (about 1 to 2 minutes before it is done), fold in the remaining 1


 cup of walnuts. Makes 1 quart. Typed by Lynn Thomas DCQP82A. Source: Randy

 recipe!
