If you have been looking for a new and interesting way to serve your favorite dessert wine, wine ice cream is just the ticket. Your guests will be thrilled with this new spin on an old favorite. Almost any dessert wine can be used to make ice cream, including Port, Cream Sherry and Muscat.
Instructions
1. In a large saucepan, mix the milk, half-and-half and sugar over medium heat, stirring often. Heat just until the mixture begins to steam.
2. In a large bowl, mix the eggs together. Whisk about 1/3 of the hot mixture into the eggs and return the mixture to the saucepan.
3. Cook and stir constantly, until the mixture thickens enough to coat a metal spoon with a smooth layer, approximately 20 minutes.
4. Cover the mixture and chill in the refrigerator for at least three hours and no more than 24 hours.
5. Mix the wine with the milk mixture and pour it into the ice cream freezer container. Freeze according to manufacturer's directions.
6. Serve immediately, or freeze in an airtight container for up to one week.
