Nutmeg ice cream

1 servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
1½ cup Milk
1½ cup Heavy cream
3 larges Eggs
¾ cup Sugar
1 teaspoon Freshly grated nutmeg
⅛ teaspoon Salt
¼ teaspoon Vanilla

Directions

In a saucepan bring the milk and the cream just to a boil. In a bowl whisk together the eggs, the sugar, the nutmeg, the salt, and the vanilla, whisk ½ cup of the milk mixture into the egg mixture, and whisk the mixture into the remaining milk mixture. Cook the custard over moderate heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spatula, until it registers 175F. on a candy thermometer. Transfer the custard to a metal bowl set in a larger bowl of ice and cold water and stir it until it is cold. Freeze the custard in an ice-cream freezer according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Makes about 1 quart.
