Maple Walnut Ice Cream Recipe
Report
This Maple Walnut Ice Cream recipe has a custard base made with real maple syrup and there are pieces of toasted walnut in every bite! It's an old-fashioned classic flavor that is mostly only seen on boardwalks and ice cream shops these days, but deserves to be made popular again!

Ingredients
- 3/4 cup maple syrup
- 1 1/2 cups milk whole
- 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
- 5 egg yolk
- Pinch of kosher salt
- 1 1/2 cups walnuts toasted and coarsely chopped
Instructions
- Toast the walnuts by placing them on a baking sheet in a 325°F oven for 10-12 minutes or in a dry skillet over medium heat for 5 minutes while stirring constantly. Cool and roughly chop.
- Pour the maple syrup into a medium saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium and cook for 8-10 minutes until reduced to about 1/2 cup.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low and whisk in the cream, milk, and salt until combined.
- Whisk egg yolks in a medium bowl. Once small bubbles start to form around the edges of the pan with the hot milk mixture, remove 1 cup of the hot liquid and gradually whisk it into the egg yolks to temper the eggs.
- Pour the tempered egg mixture back into the pan with the hot milk. Continue to heat over medium-low heat until it reaches 170-175 degrees F or is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.
- Transfer the ice cream base to a glass bowl or heavy-duty ziptight bag and seal completely. Submerge in an ice bath to cool quickly or place in the fridge to chill overnight.
- When the ice cream is thoroughly chilled, churn it according to your ice cream maker's instructions. Add the toasted walnuts during the last minute of churning.
- Transfer the soft ice cream to a bread pan or other freezer-safe container, then freeze for 4 hours to harden.

Notes
- This ice cream is heavy on the walnuts. I like plenty of nuts in my ice cream, so the amount is perfect for me, but feel free to scale it back to 3/4 cup of toasted walnuts if you don't want it as nutty.
- Yield: About 1 1/2 quarts.
