Ingredients




3 cups heavy cream
1 cup whole milk
1/4 cup grated fresh ginger
1 pinch of salt
8 egg yolks
3/4 cup sugar

Preparation

1 In a large, heavy saucepan, combine the cream, milk, ginger, and salt over medium heat and simmer for 20 minutes. 2 In a large bowl, combine the egg yolks and sugar, and whisk until the mixture becomes frothy and turns a pale yellow color.
 3 Ladle 1/2 cup of the hot cream mixture into the eggs and whisk well to combine.  4 Stir the egg mixture into the hot cream mixture and cook over low heat, stirring constantly to prevent sticking. Stir until thick enough to coat the back of a spoon - 3 to 5 minutes.  5 Strain into a large clean bowl through a fine mesh strainer, pressing with the back of a large spoon to extract as much liquid as possible. 
 6 Cover tightly and place in the refrigerator until well chilled; at least 3 hours.
 7 Pour the custard into the bowl of an ice cream maker and freeze according to manufacturer's instructions. 
 8 Transfer the ice cream to an airtight container and freeze until ready to eat.

One of my favorite desserts of all time! I know in the end its ice cream, but I am still reaping the health benefits from the ginger, helping my injured knees, by the natural anti inflammatory properties in the fresh ginger! Very tasty recipe!
