Time 8h45m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 large eggs
¼ cup unsulfured molasses
2 cups heavy cream
1 cup buttermilk
⅔ cup firmly packed dark brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

Steps:

  • Whisk eggs and molasses together in a medium bowl until combined. Set aside.
  • Combine cream, buttermilk, brown sugar, vanilla extract, salt, and cinnamon in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring frequently, until sugar is dissolved and mixture begins to bubble around the edges, about 5 minutes.
  • Add 1/2 of the hot cream mixture very slowly into the egg-molasses mixture, whisking constantly. Pour the tempered egg mixture back into the pan with the remaining hot cream mixture. Reduce heat to medium-low and continue to cook until mixture is slightly thickened and coats the back of a spoon, about 8 minutes.
  • Strain custard through a fine-mesh sieve into a medium bowl. Cover with plastic wrap touching the top of the custard to avoid forming a skin. Cool completely in refrigerator, 4 hours to overnight.
  • Pour custard into an ice cream maker and freeze according to manufacturer's instructions, about 20 minutes. Transfer to an airtight container and freeze until firm, about 4 hours.

Yield Makes about 1 quart

Number Of Ingredients 4

3 oz cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
1/3 cup mild molasses
2 cups half-and-half

Steps:

  • Blend cream cheese, brown sugar, and molasses in a food processor or blender until smooth. With motor running, add half-and-half, blending until combined.
  • Freeze in an ice cream maker, then transfer ice cream to an airtight container and put in freezer to harden.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients. The better the quality of your ingredients, the better your ice cream will be. This means using real molasses, not imitation molasses, and using fresh cream and milk.
  • Chill your ingredients before churning. This will help the ice cream freeze more quickly and smoothly.
  • Don't overchurn the ice cream. Overchurning can make the ice cream grainy. Churn the ice cream just until it is thick and creamy.
  • Let the ice cream ripen before serving. This will allow the flavors to develop and deepen. Ripen the ice cream for at least 4 hours, or overnight.

Conclusion:

Molasses ice cream is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. With its rich, molasses flavor and creamy texture, molasses ice cream is sure to be a hit with everyone. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give molasses ice cream a try. You won't be disappointed!
