Ingredients

• 2 cups Whole milk
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
• 6 oz Milk chocolate, chopped
• 4 large Egg yolks
• 1 tsp Vanilla extract
• 0.25 tsp Salt
• 0.75 cup Macadamia nuts, chopped

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, combine the whole milk, heavy cream, and granulated sugar over medium heat. Stir occasionally until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is warm, but not boiling.

Step 2

Remove the pan from the heat and add the chopped milk chocolate. Whisk until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.

Step 3

In a separate medium bowl, whisk the egg yolks until smooth. Slowly and gradually add 1/2 cup of the warm milk mixture to the egg yolks, whisking continuously to temper the eggs.

Step 4

Pour the tempered egg mixture back into the saucepan with the rest of the milk and cream mixture. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon or heatproof spatula, until the mixture thickens and coats the back of the spoon (about 170-175°F). Do not let it boil.

Step 5

Remove the custard from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and salt. Strain the custard through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean bowl to remove any lumps.

Step 6

Cover the surface of the custard with plastic wrap to prevent a skin from forming. Let it cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight until completely chilled.

Step 7

Once chilled, pour the custard into your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions (typically 20-25 minutes).

Step 8

When the ice cream is almost finished churning, add the chopped macadamia nuts and churn for an additional 1-2 minutes to evenly incorporate them.

Step 9

Transfer the churned ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until firm. Serve and enjoy!
