List of Ingredients
The recipe makes about 2 quarts, so she has to drag out the large electric ice cream machine, or make it in 2 batches in the smaller one. No matter. It's worth all the effort.
Makes about 2 quarts
2 quarts heavy cream
3 cups sugar
6 eggs, lightly beaten
Pinch of salt
Pure vanilla extract to taste (about 2 teaspoons)
Beat 1 quart of heavy cream until just slightly thickened to soft peaks. Cover and store in the refrigerator.
Caramelize 2 cups of the sugar in a heavy (preferably cast-iron) skillet until it's a good, deep brown.
Combine the eggs, the remaining cup of the sugar, the salt and the remaining cream in the top of a double boiler or in a heavy medium-size saucepan over low heat. Stir constantly until the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon. Carefully add the caramelized sugar (it will bubble up) while it is still hot and whisk constantly to blend. Strain through a fine-mesh strainer into a clean bowl. Cover and cool completely in the refrigerator.
When thoroughly chilled, remove from the refrigerator and add the vanilla and the whipped heavy cream. Pour the mixture into an ice cream machine and freeze according to the manufacturer's directions.
