Time 8h45m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 large eggs
¼ cup unsulfured molasses
2 cups heavy cream
1 cup buttermilk
⅔ cup firmly packed dark brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

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.

Yield Makes about 1 quart

Number Of Ingredients 4

3 oz cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
1/3 cup mild molasses
2 cups half-and-half

Steps:

  • Blend cream cheese, brown sugar, and molasses in a food processor or blender until smooth. With motor running, add half-and-half, blending until combined.
  • Freeze in an ice cream maker, then transfer ice cream to an airtight container and put in freezer to harden.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients. The better the ingredients, the better the ice cream will be. Look for fresh milk, cream, and eggs. Use pure vanilla extract instead of imitation vanilla.
  • Chill the ingredients before churning. This will help the ice cream freeze more quickly and smoothly. You can chill the milk, cream, and eggs in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before churning.
  • Don't overchurn the ice cream. Overchurning can make the ice cream grainy. Churn the ice cream just until it is thick and creamy, about 20-25 minutes.
  • Add mix-ins after churning. If you want to add mix-ins, such as chocolate chips, nuts, or fruit, do so after the ice cream has been churned. This will help prevent the mix-ins from freezing solid.
  • Freeze the ice cream for at least 4 hours before serving. This will allow the ice cream to firm up and develop its full flavor.

Conclusion:

Molasses ice cream is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With its rich, sweet flavor and creamy texture, molasses ice cream is sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give molasses ice cream a try.
