Ingredients
Makes 2 Quarts
1 cup heavy cream and 3 cups milk (or 2 cups milk and 2 cups
heavy cream)
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 cinnamon sticks
2/3 cup sugar
8 large egg yolks
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
2 teaspoons sugar (optional)
Steps
Place the cream, milk, salt, and cinnamon sticks in a saucepan
and bring to a boil over high heat. Allow to steep for 1 hour.
Place the sugar, egg yolks, and vanilla in a large bowl and
mix to combine. Return the cream to a boil and pour over the
egg mixture, whisking all the while. Allow to sit 5 minutes.
Pour through a strainer and discard the solids. Chill in an
ice bath. When cool, cover and refrigerate. Transfer to an
ice
cream maker and freeze according to the manufacturer's
instructions.
You can mix the cinnamon and sugar together and add it to
the ice
cream after it has cooled but before it is frozen. Don't
add it earlier: The cinnamon acts as a starch and will give
you glue if added during the cooking process.
Apple-Topped Gingerbread
This is also delicious served with sweetened
whipped cream.
Ingredients
1/4 pound (1 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup molasses
1/2 cup sour cream or full-fat yogurt
2 large eggs, at room temperature
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons ground ginger
1 tablespoon finely grated fresh gingerroot
2 hard apples (such as Granny Smith, Baldwin, or Macoun),
peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Steps
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease and flour
a 9-inch cake pan.
Place the butter and sugar in a bowl of a mixer fitted with
a paddle and mix until creamy. Add the molasses and mix until
creamy. Add the sour cream and mix until creamy.
Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, ground ginger,
and gingerroot and mix just to combine.
Place the batter in the prepared pan and smooth down. Place
the apples on top in a circle, shingle style, around the edges
of the ice
cream cake. Transfer the cake to the oven and bake until
the center is set and springs back under pressure, about 30
minutes, basting every 10 minutes with the melted butter.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Cover and store at room
temperature up to 2 days
