Ingredients

2 c. whole milk
1 c. cream
1 tsp. kosher salt
3/4 c. sugar
1 tsp. vanilla extract
8 large egg yolks
4 oz. Chevre (the generic term for goat milk cheese), broken into small pieces

Directions

In a Calphalon Unison 2 qt. Sauce pan with Slide Nonstick, add the milk, cream, salt and vanilla and heat until 150º F (until steam comes off the top). In a stainless bowl, add the yolks and sugar.  Whisk vigorously until the mixture is thick and frothy (about 3 minutes). Add 2 oz. of the warmed milk into the eggs while whisking. Add another 2 oz. of milk while whisking. Pour the milk mixture back into the saucepan and place over medium heat.  Whisk constantly to make sure the bottom doesn’t burn.  When the mixture is 150º F (puff of steam), or the mixture coats the back of a spoon, remove from heat and place mixture in a clean bowl. Immediately whisk in the chevre, one piece at a time, making sure the first piece is melted before adding more (so the cheese doesn’t separate). 

Cool the mixture completely in the refrigerator (about 4 hours) or until it is 40º F degrees or less.

Churn in your ice cream maker according to manufacturer’s directions. Freeze churned ice cream for at least 4 hours.

Serve with Chef Peter Max Rubin's Sweet Cornmeal Cake and Blackberry and Honey Coulis for the perfect late summer dinner dessert!
