Preparation Steps
1
In a medium saucepan, combine the milk and heavy cream. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until just warmed through but not boiling.
2
In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks and sugar together until pale and fluffy.
3
Slowly pour a small amount of the warm milk-cream mixture into the egg yolk mixture, whisking constantly to temper the eggs.
4
Pour the tempered egg mixture back into the saucepan. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens slightly and coats the back of a spoon (about 5-7 minutes).
5
Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and Irish Cream liqueur. Let cool to room temperature.
6
Pour the ice cream mixture into an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to chill thoroughly.
7
Pour the chilled mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions. If you don't have an ice cream maker, freeze for 3-4 hours, stirring well every hour to break up ice crystals.
8
Serve in elegant glasses or cones and enjoy the creamy flavor of homemade Irish Cream ice cream!
