how many times can justin bring sexy back, really?
this sundae is:
not a swanky getaway in a nice hotel kind of sexy.
more like, gourmet camping trip sexy. a nice fire going, stars and shit. and a sundae in a mug.
the mish mosh: buttermilk ice cream. lime curd. toasted almond poppyseed cake cubes.
Buttermilk Ice Cream
from smitten kitchen
2 cups heavy cream
1 1/4 cup sugar
8 egg yolks
2 cups buttermilk
2 tsp vanilla or 1/2 a vanilla bean, scraped and simmered with cream
pinch of salt
in a large heavy saucepan, combine the cream and 1 cup of sugar and bring to a simmer over medium heat.
in a large bowl, whisk egg yolks and remaining 1/4 cup of sugar.
remove cream mixture from heat and drizzle a small amount into the yolks slowly, whisking constantly to keep eggs from curdling. continue slowly adding more to warm the yolks well, and then pour back into the cream, whisking constantly.
cook over low heat until the mixture thickens and coats the back of a spoon. pour through a fine mesh strainer, then whisk in the buttermilk, vanilla, and salt. press plastic on the top surface so a skin doesn't form and chill in the refrigerator, and then freeze according to your ice cream maker's directions.
