A recipe from the Barefoot Contessa herself, Ina Garten. Sounded too good for me to lose.... Cook time is freeze time.

Time 2h15m

Yield 4 scoops

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 egg yolks
1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1 3/4 cups milk, scalded
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 1/2 teaspoons cognac
1 teaspoon vanilla extract or 1 teaspoon vanilla bean seeds

Steps:

  • Beat the egg yolks and sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment on medium-high speed for 3 minutes, or until very thick.
  • Reduce to low speed, and add the cornstarch.
  • With the mixer still on low, slowly pour the hot milk into the eggs. Pour the custard mixture into a saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until thickened. The custard will coat the spoon like heavy cream. Don't cook it above 180 degrees or the eggs will scramble!
  • Pour the sauce through a fine strainer, add the vanilla extract, Cognac, and vanilla seeds, if using.
  • Freeze the mixture in an ice cream freezer according to the manufacturer's directions. Transfer to a plastic container and store in the freezer until ready to serve.
