Ingredients:

  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 2 tbsp rum (optional)
  • 1/3 cup heavy cream
  • 4 oz marrons in syrup (optional)

Directions:

  1. Put milk, chestnut puree and 3 oz of the sugar in a pan and bring to a boil over med. heat.
  2. Whisk the egg yolks and the remaining sugar in a bowl until a light ribbon consistency.
  3. Pour the boiling milk into the egg yolks, whisking constantly, then pour the mixture back into the pan.
  4. Stir over low heat, stirring with a wooden spoon until the custard lightly coats the back of the spoon. When you run your finger through it, it should leave a clear path on the spoon.
  5. Immediately take the pan off the heat and pour custard into a bowl.
  6. Add the rum now, if using.
  7. Cool over ice, stirring occasionally to prevent the formation of a skin.
  8. When cold, pass the custard through a fine strainer or a chinois into the ice cream maker and churn 10-15 minutes.
  9. Pour the cream into the ice cream maker, in a slow stream. Churn an additional 10 minutes. It is ready when firm but still creamy.
  10. Serve with the marrons glace on top, in small pieces, if desired, or with a drizzle of semi-sweet chocolate sauce, or just plain.
