Ginger Ice Cream
Recipe courtesy Emeril Lagasse, 2001

Ingredients
3 cups heavy cream
1 cup whole milk
1/4 cup grated fresh ginger
Pinch salt
8 egg yolks
3/4 cup sugar

Directions
In a large, heavy saucepan, combine the cream, milk,
ginger, and salt over medium heat and simmer for 20 minutes.
In a large bowl, combine the egg yolks and sugar. Whisk until pale yellow in color

and frothy. Ladle 1/2 cup of the hot cream mixture into the eggs and whisk well to
combine. Stir the egg mixture into the hot cream mixture and cook over low heat,
stirring constantly to prevent sticking, until thick enough to coat the back of a
spoon, 3 to 5 minutes. Strain into a large clean bowl through a fine mesh
strainer, pressing with the back of a large spoon to extract as much liquid as
possible. Cover tightly and place in the refrigerator until well chilled, at least
3 hours.
Pour the custard into the bowl of an ice cream maker, and freeze according to
manufacturer's instructions. Transfer the ice cream to an airtight container and
freeze until ready to eat.
