Spoonacular is a recipe search engine that sources recipes from across the web. We do our best to find recipes suitable for many diets — whether vegetarian, vegan, gluten free, dairy free, etc. — but we cannot guarantee that a recipe's ingredients are safe for your diet. Always read ingredient lists from the original source (follow the link from the "Instructions" field) in case an ingredient has been incorrectly extracted from the original source or has been labeled incorrectly in any way. Moreover, it is important that you always read the labels on every product you buy to see if the product could cause an allergic reaction or if it conflicts with your personal or religious beliefs. If you are still not sure after reading the label, contact the manufacturer.

We also attempt to estimate the cost and calculate the nutritional information for the recipes found on our site. Again, we cannot guarantee the accuracy of this information. Additionally, our nutrition visualizer that suggests that you limit sodium, sugar, etc., and get enough protein, vitamins, and minerals is not intended as medical advice.

Port are my top picks for Ice Cream. A common wine pairing rule is to make sure your wine is sweeter than your food. Delicate desserts go well with Moscato d'Asti, nutty desserts with cream sherry, and caramel or chocolate desserts pair well with port. The Croft Vintage Port with a 5 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 59 dollars per bottle.

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, sugar, vanilla, and salt.
  2. Pour the half-and-half and cream into the top of a double boiler** and heat over hot water until hot, but not boiling. Stir with a wooden spoon, scraping the bottom of the pan to prevent sticking.
  3. NOTE: I carefully heated the milk and cream in my microwave, being careful not to let it boil. Personally, this is easier for me.
  4. Slowly pour some of the hot cream into the eggs, to temper it. Slowly add the rest of the hot cream, whisking constantly until smooth.
  5. Return to the double boiler** and cook over medium-low until thick and bubbling around the edges.
  6. NOTE: I used direct heat, being very careful to stir constantly and to keep the temperature on medium-low. It took about 15 minutes for the custard to thicken, so be patient!
  7. The custard will coat a wooden spoon. You can also coat a regular spoon, run your finger through it. If the line remains separate, it's ready!
  8. Strain the custard through a fine-mesh sieve into a metal bowl (don't skip this step). Cover and chill for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  9. HOMEMADE LEMON CURD (Optional):
  10. In a 2 quart saucepan, combine lemon juice, lemon zest, sugar, eggs, and butter.
  11. Cook over medium-low heat until thick enough to hold marks from whisk, and first bubble appears on surface, about 6 minutes.
  12. Remove from heat.
  13. The curd can be stored in the refrigerator, in a tight-fitting jar, for up to one week.
  14. I recommend that you made the ice cream custard and the lemon curd the day before actually making the ice cream.
  15. TO MAKE THE ICE CREAM:
  16. Whisk one cup of cold lemon curd into the chilled egg custard.
  17. Turn on the machine, and then add the cream mix into the canister of an ice cream maker. Freeze according to manufacturer's instructions.
  18. Transfer to a shallow quart container, cover with plastic wrap, and freeze in the refrigerator's freezer for at least 3 hours until ready to serve.
