Homemade Maple Ice Cream Recipe
A homemade maple ice cream recipe for those of you who are crazy about maple. This recipe uses real maple syrup, eggs, and cream for a rich tasting dessert. For a 6-quart ice cream freezer.
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 8 eggs
- 2-1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 1-1/2 quarts half and half
- 1 cup real maple syrup
- 2 Tablespoons vanilla
- dash salt
- 1 pint whipping cream
- 1/2 teaspoon maple extract
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans optional
Instructions
- Using a wire whisk and a stainless steel bowl, beat the eggs and granulated sugar until light and lemon colored. Set aside.
- In a medium large saucepan whisk together the half and half and maple syrup. Bring to a scald over medium high heat. A scald is just to the point when the milk is bubbling and starting to skin over, but not boiling. Do not let the mixture boil.
- Temper the egg mixture by adding small amounts of the hot milk slowly to the eggs and whisk constantly in between until all are combined. Do not allow the mixture to curdle. If that happens you will need to strain the mixture before continuing.
- Place the egg mixture bowl over a pan of simmering water and continue to whisk constantly until the it is creamy and custard like and coats the back of a wooden spoon.
- Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla, salt, and whipping cream, and maple extract. Refrigerate until completely cold, about 2-3 hours.
- Churn in a 6-Quart Electric Ice Cream Freezer according to manufacturers directions. Add chopped nuts during the last 5 minutes of mixing. Freeze until solid.
- Can be made up to a week in advance.
