Joy's Butter Almond Ice Cream

Joy’s Butter Almond Ice Cream
1 c. packed brown sugar
½ c. water
1/8 tsp salt
2 large eggs
2 tbsp unsalted butter
1 c. whole milk
1 tsp vanilla
1 c. lightly beaten heavy cream
½ c. chopped toasted almonds

Boil the brown sugar, water and salt, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Boil for 2 minutes. Beat the eggs, and slowly beat the syrup into the eggs. Cook in a double boiler until the mixture thickens slightly. Add and stir the butter until it melts. Strain and refridgerate overnight. When you’re ready to make the ice cream, add the milk and vanilla, and cream. Freeze in your ice cream maker, and when the ice cream is almost frozen, toss in the almonds.

Rating: A+. Why do I bother with these ratings? Of course this is superlative. It’s amazing. Astounding. Mind bending. Give in. Go ahead. You will never be the same. You’ll certainly NEVER feel the need to buy ice cream again…
