  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 vanilla bean scraped
  • 8 egg yolks or 7 small eggs

Instructions

  • Bring milk, cream and vanilla to a boil.
  • Strain milk.
  • Beat eggs (or egg yolks) with sugar until smooth, pale, creamy.
  • Temper yolks by adding hot milk to eggs and then put all back into pan, on low heat and whisk continuously until thickened, approximately six minutes.
  • Cool completely for several hours or over night.
  • Follow instructions for your ice cream maker and about halfway through add in plum puree.
  • Add in brandy a little at a time. The alcohol will not lose its flavor so add sparingly and only add a brandy (or a cognac) that you would willingly sip at leisure
