1 quart
- Serves:
- 8
ingredients
- 473.18 ml 1% low-fat milk
- 118.29 ml sugar
- 14.79 ml black peppercorns, coarsely cracked
- 14.79 ml pure vanilla extract
- 1.23 ml salt
- 473.18 ml half-and-half
- 3 large egg yolks
directions
- Warm the milk, sugar, peppercorns, salt and 1 cup of the half and half in a medium saucepan. (I heated it until it almost boiled.) Cover, remove from the heat, and let steep at room temperature for one hour.
- Rewarm the peppercorn-infused mixture. In a large bowl, whisk together the egg yolks. Slowly pour the warm mixture into the yolks, then pour it all back into the saucepan.
- Quickly rinse the bowl, pour the remaining half and half into it, and set a mesh strainer on top.
- Stir the custard constantly over medium heat with a heatproof spatula until it thickens. Pour the custard through the strainer, pressing the peppercorns gently to extract as much flavor as possible.
- Discard the peppercorns and stir the custard into the cream.
- Chill thoroughly (4-6 hours, or 2 hours over an ice bath).
- Freeze according to your ice cream maker's directions.

<p>I love to cook, bake and eat. Sometimes I'm more in the mood to cook than to eat (or clean up the mess!) I love to think of new ways to cook everyday foods and spice things up. I love to try new foods, I'll try most anything once. </p>
