Rum Cranberry Ice Cream With Walnuts And Chocolate Chunks Recipes

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine the cranberries and dark rum. Cover and let stand at room temperature for 2 hours; drain, reserving 2 tablespoons of rum.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and sugar.
• In a medium, heavy-bottomed saucepan, bring milk and heavy cream to a boil; remove from heat and add sea salt. Whisking constantly, slowly drizzle the milk mixture into the yolks until completely combined. Scrape the custard back into the saucepan and simmer over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until the custard is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon (do not let it come to a boil). Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl; stir in the reserved rum and cranberries and chill until very cold, at least 3 hours.
• Transfer the custard to an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions. When the ice cream is almost finished, pour the chocolate and walnuts into the machine and allow to incorporate completely. Freeze in an airtight container.

Steps:

• Bring cream and 1/2 cup sugar just to a boil in a 2- to 4-quart heavy saucepan, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat and keep hot, covered.
• Beat together yolks, salt, and 3 tablespoons sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer at high speed until tripled in volume and thick enough to form a ribbon that takes 2 seconds to dissolve into mixture when beater is lifted, 3 to 4 minutes in a stand mixer or 4 to 8 with a handheld.
• Reduce mixer speed to low and add hot cream mixture to yolks in a slow stream, then transfer custard back to saucepan. Cook over moderately low heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until custard is slightly thickened and registers 170°F on thermometer (do not let boil).

• While custard cools, combine cranberries, remaining cup sugar, and cinnamon stick in a 2-quart heavy saucepan and bring to a boil over moderately high heat, stirring. Reduce heat to low and simmer, covered, stirring occasionally, until cranberries have burst, about 10 minutes. Remove and discard cinnamon stick, then carefully transfer cranberry mixture to a blender and purée until smooth (use caution when blending hot mixtures). Force through fine-mesh sieve into bowl of custard, pressing on solids with back of a spoon and then discarding them. Cool to room temperature, stirring occasionally, about 45 minutes.
