Goat Cheese
Ingredients
Water
Ice
1 ½ cups heavy cream
1 ½ cups whole milk
½ cups granulated sugar
6 egg yolks
2 tbsp goat cheese
Method
Place a medium bowl inside a large bowl. Add water and ice to larger bowl, about ⅔ of the way up the sides. Set a strainer over a medium bowl.
Pour cream and milk into a high-sided pot. Add all but 2 tablespoons sugar to pot and place over medium-high heat. Allow mixture to come to a simmer, about 6 minutes.
While the milk mixture simmers, separate eggs, reserving yolks and saving whites for use in another recipe (or discard). In a large bowl, whisk together egg yolks and remaining sugar. Once small bubbles form on the surface of the milk, remove from heat. Slowly pour warm milk mixture into bowl with egg yolks, whisking continuously.
Pour egg and milk mixture back into pot from milk and cook over medium heat. Using a wooden spoon, stir continuously in a figure 8 pattern to reach all sides of pot, until thickened and ice cream base coats the back of the spoon. Immediately remove from heat.
Pour ice cream base into prepared strainer atop ice bath. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooling. Whisk goat cheese into ice cream base.
When ice cream is completely cool, transfer to a plastic container and refrigerate for 30 minutes or up to 4 hours. Place chilled base in ice cream maker and churn according to manufacturer’s instructions.
