Ingredients

Directions

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine the milk, cream, and vanilla essence. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture just begins to simmer. Do not let it boil vigorously.
  2. While the dairy mixture heats, whisk the egg yolks and sugar in a large bowl until the mixture is pale, thick, and slightly fluffy.
  3. Slowly pour the hot milk and cream mixture into the egg yolk mixture in a thin, steady stream, whisking constantly to temper the eggs and prevent curdling.
  4. Pour the combined custard back into the saucepan. Cook over low to medium heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon or heatproof spatula, until the custard thickens enough to coat the back of the spoon.
  5. Remove the custard from the heat and immediately strain it through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean bowl to ensure a silky smooth texture.
  6. Stir in the brandy, rum, and 1/2 teaspoon of freshly grated nutmeg. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface of the custard to prevent a skin from forming.
  7. Refrigerate the custard for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, until completely chilled.
  8. Pour the chilled custard into your ice cream maker and freeze according to the manufacturer's instructions until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
  9. Transfer the ice cream to an airtight container. If desired, fold in additional mix-ins like chopped almonds or chocolate.
  10. Cover and freeze for at least 2 hours until firm enough to scoop. Garnish with extra grated nutmeg before serving.
