Bourbon Ice Cream Recipe

  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 2 cups half and half
  • 1/2 cup nonfat dry milk powder
  • 6 large egg yolks
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup (packed) dark brown sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon coarse kosher salt
  • 5 tablespoons bourbon
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • Special equipment: Ice cream maker
  1. Bring first 3 ingredients to simmer in heavy large saucepan over medium-high heat, stirring until milk powder dissolves completely. Remove from heat.
  2. Combine egg yolks, sugar, brown sugar, and coarse salt in large bowl; whisk until thick and blended. Gradually whisk hot cream mixture into yolk mixture. Return mixture to same saucepan. Stir over medium-low heat until custard thickens enough to leave path on back of spoon when finger is drawn across and temperature registers 175°F to 178°F, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat. Mix in bourbon and vanilla extract. Refrigerate custard uncovered until cold, stirring occasionally, at least 3 hours. DO AHEAD: Custard can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and keep refrigerated.
