“Flavorful real maple syrup and toasted walnuts combine into this classic old fashioned ice cream recipe. Maple walnut ice cream has a custard base that is cooked with egg yolks and heavy cream on the stovetop, but is an easy and simple recipe to make!"
1. Place the syrup in a medium sized saucepan. Use a larger sized saucepan than you think you need, because the syrup will get bigger and bubble as it cooks, and you are going to use this same pan to create the custard in.
5. Slowly, slowly, slowly, whisk in a small thin drizzle of this warmed milk into the eggs to temper them. This will help bring the temperature of the eggs up without cooking them.
3. Place into a freezer safe container with a lid and freeze for at least four hours, or overnight. This will allow it to freeze and harden the rest of the way.
