Ingredients
- 2 each Egg yolks
- 1 pint Heavy cream
- 8 each Macaroons
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract (Quantity estimated (not specified in original recipe))
- 1 teaspoon Flavoring (Quantity estimated (not specified in original recipe))
- 1/2 cup Granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup Whole milk
Instructions
- 1In a bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and sugar until very light and fluffy. In a saucepan, bring the milk to a boil. Once boiling, slowly pour the hot milk into the egg yolk mixture, whisking constantly to prevent the eggs from scrambling. Continue whisking until well combined.
- 2Set the custard mixture aside to cool completely. This can be done at room temperature or in the refrigerator to speed up the process.
- 3In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold in the macaroons, leaving a few macaroons to crumble and place at the bottom of the serving forms. Once the custard is cool, gently fold in the whipped cream mixture.
- 4Pour the mixture into individual serving forms. Pack the forms and freeze for at least two hours, or longer, until solid.
