Absinthe And Raisin Ice-Cream
- 1 cup Heavy Cream
- 3 whole Egg Yolks
- 1/2 cups Whole Milk
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1/3 cups Sugar
- 3 Tablespoons Absinthe
- 3/4 cups Raisins
- Set up an ice bath by placing a 2-quart (2-liter) bowl in a larger bowl partially filled with ice and water. Set a strainer over the top of the smaller bowl and pour the cream into the bowl. (I didn't do this over a waterbath.)
- In a separate bowl, stir together the egg yolks.
- Heat the milk, salt, and sugar in a saucepan over low heat. Gradually pour some of the milk into the yolks, whisking constantly as you pour. Scrape the warmed yolks and milk back into the saucepan.
- Cook over low heat, stirring constantly and scraping the bottom with a heat-resistant spatula, until the custard thickens enough to coat the spatula. Strain the custard into the cream. Stir over the ice until cool, then refrigerate to chill thoroughly, preferably overnight.
- The next day, stir in absinthe just before churning. Freeze the custard in your ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions. Once churned, stir in the raisins.
- Makes about 500ml (2 cups) ice cream.
