Directions
-
In a medium saucepan, scald the half & half over medium heat until it begins to steam, then set aside.
-
In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, 3/4 cup of the sugar, a pinch of salt, and 1 teaspoon of the vanilla until smooth and pale.
-
Gradually whisk the scalded half & half into the egg yolk mixture to temper the eggs.
-
Transfer the mixture back to the saucepan and cook over moderate heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon or heatproof spatula.
-
Continue cooking until the custard thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon and reaches 165F on a candy thermometer, about 10-15 minutes. Do not boil.
-
Remove the custard from heat and stir in the remaining sugar and vanilla. Let cool slightly.
-
Melt white chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over simmering water or in short bursts in the microwave, stirring until smooth.
-
Fold the melted white chocolate into the cooled custard until fully combined.
-
Spread half of the white chocolate custard mixture into the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish.
-
Spread a layer of soft peanut butter ice cream over the custard base.
-
Spread the remaining white chocolate custard over the ice cream layer.
-
Cover tightly with plastic wrap and freeze for at least 4 hours or overnight until firm.
-
Let stand at room temperature for 10 minutes before slicing. Garnish with chopped peanuts and mint sprigs if desired.
