Ingredients
- 12 oz whole milk (1 ½ cups)
- 8 oz heavy cream (
1 cup) - 6 egg yolks
- 6 oz granulated sugar (¾ cup)
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- 6 oz Baileys Irish Cream (¾ cup)
Instructions
- Heat 12 oz whole milk and 8 oz heavy cream in a small saucepan until scalding hot.
- While the milk heats up, whisk together 6 egg yolks, 6 oz granulated sugar and ⅛ teaspoon salt in a small bowl.
- Once the milk is scalding hot, pour it into the bowl with the yolks and whisk to combine
- Return the entire mixture to the saucepan and heat over medium low heat, stirring constantly. Cook the custard until it thickens enough to coat the back of a spatula or wooden spoon. Do not allow it to come to a boil.
- Remove from the heat and strain into a bowl. Stir 6 oz Baileys Irish Cream into the custard. Cover the bowl and chill until very cold. At least 4-5 hours or over night (see note).
- Freeze according to the directions for your ice cream machine.
- When the ice cream is ready, scoop it into a container and smooth to an even layer. Lay a piece of plastic wrap directly on the surface of the ice cream, cover tightly and freeze until firm.

Notes
To speed up the chilling process you can set the bowl of warm custard over a larger bowl filled with ice water. Occasionally stir the custard until it is well-chilled.
