Chestnut Ice Cream
- 1 quart milk
- 7/8 cup heavy cream
- 10 egg yolk
- 1 1/4 cups sugar
- 8 ounces chestnut puree
- 1 ounce rum
- 10 roasted chestnuts sweet, or Marron glace, chopped into bite size pieces
- In a saucepan, bring the milk to a boil. Add the cream. Bring to boil again. (Do not cook after the liquid has reached the boil.
- In a bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and sugar until the mixture is a very pale lemon yellow, and a ribbon forms when the whisk is lifted from the mixture.
- Pour the hot milk and cream into the eggs, and mix thoroughly. Add chestnut puree and rum.
- Return the mixture to the saucepan. Over low heat, stir it with a wooden spoon until it thickens slightly and coats the spoon - about 5 minutes. DO NOT BOIL. (To be certain the mixture is ready: With a finger draw a thin path through the mixture on the surface of the spoon; the mixture is ready when the path will not close up.)
- Pass through a fine sieve. Refrigerate until cold, then churn with ice cream maker.
- Stir in the chopped chestnuts when ice cream has completed churning.
