Ingredients

• 2 cups Heavy cream
• 1 cup Whole milk
• 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
• 5 large Egg yolks
• 0.33 cup Whiskey cream liqueur (e.g., Baileys Irish Cream)
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 0.125 teaspoon Kosher salt

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, combine heavy cream, whole milk, and half of the granulated sugar. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is hot but not boiling.

Step 2

Meanwhile, in a medium mixing bowl, whisk the egg yolks and the remaining granulated sugar together until the mixture is pale and thick.

Step 3

Gradually pour a small amount of the hot cream mixture into the egg yolk mixture, whisking constantly to temper the eggs. Repeat this process with 1-2 more ladles of hot cream.

Step 4

Pour the tempered egg mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining cream mixture. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon or a heatproof spatula, until the custard thickens and coats the back of the spoon. This will take about 5-7 minutes.

Step 5

Remove the saucepan from the heat and pour the custard through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean bowl to remove any lumps.

Step 6

Stir in the whiskey cream liqueur, vanilla extract, and kosher salt until fully incorporated.

Step 7

Cover the custard with plastic wrap, ensuring it touches the surface to prevent a skin from forming. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or until completely cold.

Step 8

Once chilled, churn the custard in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions, usually 20-25 minutes.

Step 9

Transfer the churned ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for at least 2 hours to firm up before serving.

Step 10

Serve scoops of the decadent whiskey cream liqueur ice cream and enjoy responsibly!
