Ingredients
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup milk whole
- 1 ⅔ cup Trappist ale used Chimay red label; divided
- 5 tablespoons molasses
- 1 inch ginger nub; peeled and sliced thin
- 4 cinnamon stick
- 5 clove whole
- 3 star anise petals
- 4 allspice berries
- 2 cardamom pods
- ½ teaspoon nutmeg freshly grated
- ½ teaspoon black peppercorns
- 6 egg large yolks
- ½ cup brown sugar dark; packed
- ½ oz. dark chocolate finely chopped
- lemon zest zest of half a large lemon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt
- ½ cup candied ginger minced
Instructions
- In a large saucepan, add heavy cream, whole milk, 1 ⅓ cups Trappist ale and molasses, stirring to combine. Add thinly sliced ginger, cinnamon, cloves, star anise, allspice, cardamom, nutmeg and black peppercorns. Cook over a medium-low heat until just below a simmer, stirring frequently (you want to see steam rising from the surface, but minimal to no bubbles), about 15 minutes.
- Whisk the egg yolks and brown sugar in a bowl until slightly thickened. Slowly, while whisking, add ½ cup of the hot cream mixture to the yolks. Take your time here so you don’t scramble the yolks. Repeat this process with another ½ cup of the hot cream, then return everything to the saucepan.
- Prepare an ice bath in a large bowl. Set a medium sized bowl in the ice bath and have a strainer ready.
- Return the saucepan to a medium heat and cook, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon. You will know the custard is thick enough when you see steam rise from the surface and the custard coats the spoon. Add the chocolate, lemon zest and the last ⅓ cup Trappist ale. Continue to cook for another minute or two until the proper thickness is achieved again.*
- Strain the custard into the medium sized bowl sitting in the ice bath. Stir in the vanilla extract and kosher salt. Stir occasionally until the mixture has cooled.
- Refrigerate until cold (preferably overnight).
- Freeze custard in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions. When the ice cream is three quarters of the way done, add candied ginger and continue to freeze until frozen.
Notes
- *Max and Ethan provide a great process to test the doneness of an ice cream custard. Dip a spoon in the custard. Run your finger across the back of the spoon to create a clear line. If the custard is thick enough, then the line should remain clear. If the custard is too thin, then it will run and disrupt the line.
