Grenada 1 - Nutmeg Ice Cream

Begin by gathering ingredients: 1.5 cups of milk and 1.5 cups of whipping cream.

Combine the milk and cream in a saucepan and heat gently, avoiding rapid heating.

In a separate bowl, crack 3 eggs and add 3/4 cup of sugar and 1/8 teaspoon of salt.

Mix the egg and sugar mixture until combined.

Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the egg mixture.

Grate nutmeg into the mixture, using the equivalent of one nutmeg berry if possible; if not, use pre-ground nutmeg.

Once the milk and cream are heated, slowly pour it into the egg mixture while whisking continuously to temper the eggs.

Return the combined mixture to the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly until it thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon.

Remove from heat and let the mixture cool before transferring it to an ice cream maker.

Churn the mixture in the ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.

Transfer the ice cream to a container and freeze until firm.
