Categories     ice creams and sorbets, dessert

Time 20m

Yield Makes 1 quart

Number Of Ingredients 5

32 ounces crème fraîche
12 tablespoons sugar
6 large egg yolks
3/4 cup chopped pitted prunes
1 tablespoon Armagnac

Steps:

  • Place a medium metal bowl over an ice bath. Combine the crème fraîche and 6 tablespoons of sugar in a large saucepan and bring to a simmer, stirring to dissolve the sugar.
  • Meanwhile, whisk the yolks with the remaining 6 tablespoons sugar in a medium bowl until mixture is thick and light. Whisking constantly, gradually pour about 2/3 of the hot crème-fraîche mixture into the yolks to temper them. Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the custard has thickened and coats the back of the spoon. Pour the custard into the metal bowl and stir occasionally until it has cooled. Strain the custard and refrigerate for at least a few hours. Overnight chilling will result in the best flavor and creamiest texture.
  • Place a container, preferably metal, that will hold the finished ice cream in the freezer. Pour the custard into an ice-cream machine and freeze according to the manufacturer's instructions. When the ice cream is the texture of soft serve, mix in the prunes and Armagnac, then transfer to the chilled container and place in the freezer to harden.

I couldn't find Armagnac at my local liquor store. I used brandy instead and it turned out fine.

This ice cream was too sweet for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with less sugar.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my ice cream turned out icy and not creamy. Maybe I didn't churn it long enough?

Delicious and easy to make! I used Calvados instead of Armagnac and it was still delicious.

I'm not a big fan of prunes, but I really enjoyed this ice cream. The prunes were subtle and not at all overpowering. The Armagnac added a nice touch of flavor as well.
