Ingredients

  • 8 ounces heavy cream (1 cup)
  • 14 ounces whole milk (1 3/4 cup)
  • 5 large egg yolks
  • 10 ounces pure maple syrup (1 1/4 cup)
  • 3/4 cup walnuts chopped, lightly toasted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla

Instructions

  • In a large sauce pan, heat milk over medium heat until lightly bubbling.
  • In a large bowl, beat egg yolks, maple syrup and heavy cream until well blended.
  • Once milk has reached a simmer, temper egg yolk and cream mixture, by adding hot milk, a ladle full at a time, whisking constantly. Once half of the milk has been added to the egg and cream mixture, whisk it back into the sauce pan with the milk.
  • Heat over medium heat, whisking constantly until custard thickens slightly and coats the back of a spoon.
  • Prepare an ice bath and pour custard through a sieve into a bowl over an ice bath, whisk in vanilla. Cool custard completely before adding to ice cream machine.
  • Chop and lightly toast walnuts. Add chopped walnuts to ice cream mixture towards the end of the churning cycle. Ice cream will be ready to eat with a soft serve texture. Or pack ice cream in an airtight container and freeze overnight for firmer ice cream.
