Ingredients

2 egg yolks

1/2 cup brown sugar

1 cup milk

1 cup heavy cream

1 tablespoon fresh sage leaves (about 20 leaves) chopped

Preparation

In a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water, mix the egg yolks and sugar. Add milk and cream and cook, stirring, over a medium heat for 10 minutes. Add chopped sage leaves and cook for 10 minutes more, until custard coats the back of a wooden spoon.

Transfer the mixture into a container and freeze for 2 hours. Before ice cream is set mix it with electric mixer to prevent crystallizing. Repeat the process several times, every hour. Serve garnished with fresh sage leaves.
