The base - Brown Sugar buttermilk ice cream

mmmm…ice cream…base

I used this recipe from Smitten Kitchen as the basis but modified it to use just 6 egg yolks and swapped out 1 cup of the regular sugar called for with lite brown sugar. The result is a delicious buttermilk ice cream base that is perfectly rich despite halving the number of egg yolks called for.

 

The Hot Swirl

Wow, that section headline just sounds wrong. Anyway, I used a combination of spices to create the swirl. Here’s the thing, it isn’t perfected yet. I need to get it to be more drippy like a caramel or thick fruit syrup.
