We all had our favorites (although it was a bit hard to choose)....

I decided that to end this sweet ride we needed to go out with a bang. I decided to make a crème brulee frozen custard and when an ice cream recipe calls for 12 egg yolks in the custard base and then is finished with coarse sugar sprinkled on top of the frozen ice cream and then torched until crisp, crackly and borderline burnt, it's going to be really, really great and really, really creamy...and it was. (We kept trying to sprinkle more sugar on top to torch partly because using the torch was quite fun and partly because the crackly sugar topping was so dang good!)
Crème Brulee Frozen Custard
12 egg yolks
1 cup superfine sugar, divided (see note)
1/2 teaspoon fine grain salt
1 vanilla bean, scraped
2 cups cold heavy cream
1 cup cold whole milk
1/2 -3/4 cup turbinado sugar (raw sugar)
In a saucepan combine, cream, whole milk, 1/2 cup sugar, and
vanilla seeds and pod. Place over medium-low heat and simmer until sugar
is dissolved.
In a mixing bowl whisk together egg yolks, 1/2 cup sugar, and
salt. Whisk until light and fluffy.
Once cream mixture is steaming (not boiling), add 1 cup to
yolk mixture, whisking constantly to prevent the egg mixture from scrambling.
Add tempered yolk mixture to saucepan and whisk
together. Cook over medium-low heat stirring constantly with a rubber
spatula until the mixture is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.
Stain custard through a fine mesh strainer into a mixing
bowl. Allow mixture to sit until room temperature. Cover custard
and chill in the refrigerator overnight. Freeze according to your manufacturer’s
instructions.
Scoop custard into small wide mouth jars (I used these)
and place in freezer until fully frozen, 3 to 5 hours.
Top custard with a full layer of raw sugar (about 1 to 2
tablespoons). Carefully brulee the top of each custard with a kitchen
torch and serve immediately.
*To make superfine sugar at home add 1 cup plus 2 teaspoons
of sugar to the bowl of a food processor and process until sugar
feels like fine sand (1 to 2 minutes).
*Next time I make this I will try Ashley Rodriguez's crème
brulee topping method (found here)
for an extra crunchy lid on the frozen custard.
