Servings: 12

Active time: 30 minutes

Total time: varies by ice cream maker

Ingredients

• 1 c pure maple syrup
• 2 c whole milk
• 2 c half and half
• pinch salt
• 5 Safest Choice™ pasteurized egg yolk(s)
• 3/4 c toasted walnuts (optional)
  
  

Preparation

1. Heat maple syrup in small saucepan and let it simmer about 5 minutes until it is reduced to about 3/4 cup. Set aside to cool. 
2. Heat milk, half and half, and salt in medium saucepan over medium-low heat until it just comes to a boil, about 4 minutes. 
3. While milk & cream are heating, whisk egg yolks in medium bowl for 2-3 minutes until lighter in color. 
4. When milk is simmering, remove it from heat and pour 3/4 cup into egg yolks, whisking constantly as you pour. Then pour the egg yolk mixture back into the saucepan with the rest of the milk mixture. Put saucepan back over medium heat and stir constantly for about 5 minutes, until custard thickens and coats the back of a spoon. 
   

   
   
5. Remove custard from heat, and stir in maple syrup. Pour custard through fine-mesh strainer into a mixing bowl. Carefully place bowl into a larger pan half-filled with ice and water. Let custard chill for about 45 minutes. 
6. Cover custard and refrigerate at least 4 hours. 
7. When custard is well-chilled, freeze it in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions. 
8. Add optional toasted walnuts when ice cream is almost fully churned and place into freezer until the ice cream is firm.
