Grilled Nectarine-Bourbon Ice Cream
- 1 quart heavy cream
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 5 egg yolks
- 14 cup Bourbon (such as Knob Creek or Woodford Reserve (or for me I'd use white rum)
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract (if you want it kid-friendly, omit bourbon and add another 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract)
- 2 nectarines, halved and pitted
- 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
- chopped pecans, for garnish
- In a saucepan, heat the heavy cream and 1 cup sugar over medium heat, stirring, until it simmers, about 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, whisk the egg yolks in a large bowl until frothy, 1 to 2 minutes.
- Pour the cream mixture into the yolks, whisking constantly, then pour into the saucepan.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until the mixture thickens, 3 to 5 minutes.
- Strain the cream mixture through a fine sieve into a stainless steel bowl, then stir in the bourbon and vanilla.
- Cover and refrigerate until completely chilled, about 1 hour.
- Preheat a grill to medium.
- Brush the nectarines with the oil and sprinkle with the remaining 1 teaspoon sugar.
- Grill cut side down until caramelized and just softened, about 5 minutes.
- Let cool, then finely chop.
- Pour the chilled cream mixture into an ice cream maker and freeze according to the manufacturer's instructions.
- Add the nectarines during the last 5 minutes of freezing.
- Top with the pecans.
