Yield Makes 1 quart

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cups milk
2 cups heavy cream
1 cinnamon stick
6 Bartlett or Anjou pears, peeled and cored
6 large egg yolks
1/2 cup sugar
2 tablespoons brandy, (optional)

Steps:

  • Combine milk, cream, and cinnamon stick in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat. Heat until small bubbles appear around the edge. Remove from heat, cover, and let steep for 30 minutes.
  • In a large saucepan over medium-high heat, cook pears for 45 minutes, or until they make a thick sauce. Let cool a bit, then puree in a food processor or blender.
  • Beat together egg yolks and sugar in a small bowl. Bring milk mixture back to a simmer, and whisk about 1 cup hot milk into egg mixture. Return to pan, and cook over low heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon until thick enough to coat the spoon, about 5 minutes.
  • Stir puree into ice-cream base. Chill, then stir in brandy, if desired. Freeze in an ice-cream maker according to manufacturer's instructions. Store in an airtight plastic container up to 2 weeks.

This ice cream is a bit too sweet for my taste, but I think it would be perfect with a tart fruit topping.

This was my first time making ice cream from scratch and it was a success! The pear flavor is subtle but present, and the texture is creamy and smooth.

Not bad! I thought the ice cream was a bit icy, but the flavor was spot on. I'll try again with a different ice cream maker.
