Taro Ice Cream #2

Taro Ice Cream #2

Ingredients:
Makes about a quart

1 cup heavy cream	1 cup mashed steamed taro
3/4 cup plus 2 tbsp sugar	6 egg yolks
2 cups whole milk

Heat heavy cream, whole milk, and sugar in a medium saucepan. Bring to a simmer then remove from heat.

Beat egg yolks until light, then add in a ladle-ful of the hot cream mixture, tempering the eggs. Keep adding the hot cream bit by bit until the egg mixture is warmed, then pour the egg-cream mixture back into the sauce pan. Cook over medium high heat until the mixture coats the back of a spoon. (You should be able to drag a finger through the coated spoon and have the line stay.)

Pour the custard through a strainer and then whisk in the mashed taro. I couldn’t get rid of all the lumps, so I pulsed it in the food processor.

Cover the custard with plastic wrap and chill until cold, then churn in an ice cream maker using the manufacturer’s instructions.
