    List of Ingredients




    2 cups light cream
    1 cup milk
    1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
    1 teaspoon ground cloves
    1/8 teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg
    1 ounce fresh ginger, peeled and sliced
    5 egg yolks
    1/2 cup granulated sugar
    1/4 cup molasses
    3/4 cup diced gingerbread (optional)
    1/3 cup chopped bittersweet chocolate (optional)

    Recipe



    1. In a medium saucepan, combine the first 6 ingredients and bring to a very gentle boil.
    2. Once it begins to boil, remove from heat immediately and allow to steep for 25 minutes.
    3. Strain mixture into a container, and whisk in molasses.
    4. Pour mixture back into saucepan and put on low to medium heat.
    5. Beat the egg yolks and sugar together until frothy.
    6. Whisk 1 cup of the warm milk mixture into the beaten eggs.
    7. Gradually whisk all of the egg mixture into the remaining milk mixture.
    8. Cook, whisking constantly for about 5 minutes, or until the mixture coats the back of a spoon.
    9. Remove from heat and strain back into a container sitting in an ice bath.
    10. Stir to help cool.
    11. After it's cooled, cover with plastic wrap pressed directly against the surface to prevent a skin from forming.
    12. Refrigerate about 1 hour, until well-chilled.
    13. Freeze in ice-cream maker according to manufacturer's instructions.
    14. When the ice cream is almost done freezing-about 5 minutes before-add the gingerbread cubes and chocolate if using.
