Steps:
- Whisk eggs and molasses together in a medium bowl until combined. Set aside.
- Combine cream, buttermilk, brown sugar, vanilla extract, salt, and cinnamon in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring frequently, until sugar is dissolved and mixture begins to bubble around the edges, about 5 minutes.
- Add 1/2 of the hot cream mixture very slowly into the egg-molasses mixture, whisking constantly. Pour the tempered egg mixture back into the pan with the remaining hot cream mixture. Reduce heat to medium-low and continue to cook until mixture is slightly thickened and coats the back of a spoon, about 8 minutes.
- Strain custard through a fine-mesh sieve into a medium bowl. Cover with plastic wrap touching the top of the custard to avoid forming a skin. Cool completely in refrigerator, 4 hours to overnight.
- Pour custard into an ice cream maker and freeze according to manufacturer's instructions, about 20 minutes. Transfer to an airtight container and freeze until firm, about 4 hours.

MOLASSES CREAMS
This is one of my favorite cookie recipes - making these treats seems to put me in a holiday mood. Maybe it's the soft centers, or perhaps the spicy aroma of ginger and cloves. Whatever the case, a few Molasses Creams and a glass of milk or cup of warm tea always hit the spot!

- Cream the butter and molasses together until light and fluffy: This incorporates air into the mixture, making the frosting light and airy.
- Add confectioners' sugar gradually: Adding the sugar gradually helps to prevent the frosting from becoming too thick or gritty.
- Beat the frosting until it reaches the desired consistency: The frosting should be smooth and spreadable, but not too stiff.
- Use the frosting immediately or store it in the refrigerator: Molasses buttercream frosting can be used immediately or stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
