Ingredients

How to make it

  • In a saucepan, heat the maple syrup and half-and-half until scalding.
  • Whip the egg yolks with the sugar until the mixture is starting to foam, about 2 minutes. Gradually add the scalded cream mixture while whipping rapidly making sure you keep whisking constantly so the eggs don't curdle. If any lumps do form, strain the mixture before heating.
  • Place the combined mixture back into the saucepan and continue to cook over a low heat, stirring constantly, until thick enough to coat the back of a wooden spoon.
  • Remove from the heat and immediately stir in heavy cream.
  • Let the custard cool, stirring every 5 minutes, to prevent a skin from forming. After slightly cooled, cover with plastic wrap setting it directly on the custard and up the sides of the bowl to prevent the skin from forming.
  • Allow the custard to chill in the refrigerator for several hours, until it is completely cold.
  • Process cooled custard in an ice cream maker according to manufacturer’s directions.
  • Towards the end of freezing, stir in the pecans and crystallized ginger.
  • Store covered in the freezer.
