GPAC Real YUMMY Eggnog Ice cream :-)
2 cups of heavy cream (good thick heavy cream, shake your container if you can hear it sloshing around like milk it's not good cream)2 cup real eggnog (not eggnog flavored drinks- blah)
1/2-3/4 cup evaporated cane juice or regular sugar
6 egg yolks
1 vanilla bean (split, scrap out seeds- use both seeds and bean in custard)
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 cinnamon sticks
3 whole cloves
grated nutmeg
Put the heavy cream, eggnog, cane juice, cinnamon sticks, cloves, vanilla bean with the seeds into a heavy bottomed saucepan. Stir and heat until mixture is hot (NOT boiling- your cream will curdle on you) and can juice is dissolved.
Whisk egg yolks, temper with a little bit of the hot custard mixture, this is important if you do not do this you may end up with scrambled eggs. Add all the egg yolk to the custard mixture and heat on medium, stir constantly until it thickens and coats the back of a spoon. Add vanilla extract and grate 1/2 nutmeg (yes half, I like nutmeg) into the custard.
Strain mixture through a fine sieve. I strain it into a mason jar, as opposed to something plastic. Let custard cool.
Once cool place into mixture bowl of your ice cream maker. Follow the instructions for your machine to freeze. In my Gelato machine it takes about 25 minutes. Then remove the ice cream and place into containers to finish freezing in the freezer.
That looks so yummy!
