The ice-cream fanatics...

Of course I get a call, and the male duo has found a place for ice-cream - not just any ice cream... Maple Walnut Ice Cream. For all of you who are unaware of how much ice-cream these two eat while together and even apart - it is an unbelievable amount!

For all of us less fortunate to have this simple pleasure today, here you go..




Ingredients:
1 cup Grade B maple syrup
2 cups heavy cream
1 cup whole milk
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
1/3 cup walnuts, toasted and chopped
Special equipment: an ice-cream maker

Preparation:
Boil syrup in a 2-quart heavy saucepan over moderately high heat until reduced to 3/4 cup, 5 to 10 minutes. Stir in cream, milk, and salt and bring to a boil over moderate heat.
Whisk eggs in a large bowl, then add hot cream in a slow stream, whisking. Transfer to saucepan and cook over moderately low heat, stirring constantly, until slightly thickened and an instant-read thermometer registers 170°F, 1 to 2 minutes (do not let boil).Pour custard through a fine sieve into a clean metal bowl, then cool, stirring occasionally. Chill, covered, until cold, at least 3 hours. Freeze custard in ice-cream maker until soft-frozen, then, with motor running, add nuts. Continue churning ice cream until frozen, then transfer to an airtight container and put in freezer to harden.
