Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups plus 2 tablespoons whole milk
- 1 cup half-and-half
- 1 (4-inch) piece vanilla bean, split lengthwise
- 6 eggs, lightly beaten
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup bourbon
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
- 1 quart French vanilla ice cream, softened
- Sweetened whipped cream (optional)
- Freshly grated nutmeg (optional)
Method
- Combine first 3 ingredients in a large saucepan; stir well. Cook over medium-low heat until thoroughly heated (do not boil). Combine eggs and sugar in a medium bowl; stir with a wire whisk until well blended. Gradually stir about one-fourth of hot mixture into egg mixture; add to remaining hot mixture, stirring constantly. Cook mixture over low heat, stirring constantly, 20 minutes or until mixture is slightly thickened and reaches 160°.
- Remove mixture from heat; stir in bourbon and 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg. Let cool. Cover and chill 3 hours. Remove and discard vanilla bean; stir in ice cream just before serving. If desired, top each serving with sweetened whipped cream and sprinkle with nutmeg.
