Gingerbread Ice Cream

Gingerbread Ice Cream is a delicious dessert that combines the warm, spicy flavors of gingerbread with the cool, creamy texture of ice cream. This recipe is perfect for the holiday season or any time you want a sweet treat that's a little bit different.

To make Gingerbread Ice Cream, you'll need the following ingredients:

- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup whole milk
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup molasses
- 1 tablespoon ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- Pinch of salt
- 5 egg yolks

In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, granulated sugar, molasses, ground ginger, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground cloves, and a pinch of salt. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until it comes to a simmer.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks. Slowly pour about 1 cup of the hot cream mixture into the egg yolks, whisking constantly, to temper the eggs. Pour the egg mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining cream mixture and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and coats the back of a spoon.
Remove the mixture from the heat and strain it through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean bowl. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate until chilled, at least 2 hours or overnight.
Once the mixture is chilled, pour it into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions. Transfer the ice cream to a freezer-safe container and freeze until firm, at least 4 hours or overnight.
When ready to serve, scoop the Gingerbread Ice Cream into bowls or cones and enjoy!
