Enjoy the rich flavors of vanilla bean and Scotch whisky in this rich and creamy ice cream recipe. This homemade treat is great for any event and is sure to impress.
Ingredients: 2 cups heavy cream. 1 cup whole milk. 3/4 cup granulated sugar. Pinch of salt. 1 vanilla bean, split and scraped. 5 large egg yolks. 1/4 cup Scotch whisky.
Instructions: In a saucepan, combine heavy cream, milk, sugar, salt, and vanilla bean seeds and pod. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until mixture reaches a simmer. In a separate bowl, whisk egg yolks until smooth. Slowly pour about 1/2 cup of the hot cream mixture into the yolks, whisking constantly to temper the eggs. Pour the tempered egg mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining cream mixture, stirring constantly. Continue to cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and coats the back of a spoon, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a clean bowl. Stir in the Scotch whisky until well combined. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface of the custard to prevent a skin from forming. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight. Once chilled, churn the custard in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions. Transfer the churned ice cream to an airtight container and freeze until firm, about 4 hours or overnight before serving.
