Yield Makes about 1 quart

Number Of Ingredients 8

3/4 cup prunes (dried plums; about 5 oz)
1/3 cup gold tequila
2 cups heavy cream
1 cup half-and-half
1/2 vanilla bean, split lengthwise
6 large egg yolks
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar
Special equipment: an ice cream maker

Steps:

  • Pack prunes into a 1/2-pint jar and add tequila (it should just cover them). Cover jar and let prunes macerate at least 12 hours at room temperature.
  • Bring cream, half-and-half, and vanilla bean to a boil in a 2- to 3-quart heavy saucepan. Whisk together yolks and sugar in a bowl, then add hot cream mixture in a stream, whisking. Pour custard into saucepan and cook over moderately low heat, stirring with a wooden spoon, until it registers 170 to 175°F on an instant-read thermometer. Immediately pour custard through a very fine sieve into a bowl, then cool to room temperature, stirring occasionally. Chill custard, covered, until very cold, about 4 hours.
  • Pulse prunes with macerating liquid in a food processor until prunes form a thick, slightly chunky purée. Add about 1 cup cold custard and pulse just until combined well, then whisk into remaining custard.
  • Freeze custard in ice cream maker. Transfer ice cream to an airtight container and put in freezer to harden at least 12 hours. (The tequila gives this ice cream a slightly softer texture than regular ice cream.)

I had some trouble getting the ice cream to churn properly. I think I might have overcooked the prunes, which made them too thick. The ice cream still tasted good, but it was a bit icy.

This ice cream is a bit too sweet for my taste, but it's still pretty good. I think I would have preferred it if the prunes were not as sweet.

This ice cream is a great way to use up leftover prunes. I had a bunch of prunes that were about to go bad, so I decided to try this recipe. I'm so glad I did! The ice cream turned out great and I didn't have to waste any food.
