Ten days till we leave for paradise...



In ten days we start our long adventure to paradise. In honor of our upcoming trip to the "Spice Island" (Grenada - the Spice Isle), I am reposting a recipe for Nutmeg Ice Cream. Summer is always a nice time for some homemade ice cream. (especially with this wonderful weather)

NUTMEG ICE CREAM - a delicious dessert you find in Grenada
1 1/2 cups milk
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
3 large eggs
3/4 cup sugar
1 Tbsp. freshly grated nutmeg - about 1 whole nutmeg
1/8 tsp. salt
1 tsp. vanilla
In pan, bring milk and cream just to a boil. Whisk together eggs, sugar, nutmeg, salt, and vanilla. Whisk 1/2 cup of the milk mixture into the egg mixture. Whisk the egg mixture into the remaining milk mixture. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until 175 on a candy thermometer. Transfer the custard to a metal bowl and set it in a larger bowl of ice and cold water. Stir until the custard has completely cooled. Freeze the custard in your ice cream machine according to directions. Enjoy!
