Preparation Steps
1
Pour the milk and heavy cream into a medium saucepan and heat over medium heat until it reaches a simmer. Do not let it boil, just steam!
2
Meanwhile, in a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks with the maple syrup until the mixture becomes lighter and slightly frothy.
3
Slowly pour a small amount of the warm milk-cream mixture into the egg mixture, whisking constantly. This helps to temper the eggs and prevent them from curdling.
4
Pour the egg mixture back into the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens. It's ready when it coats the back of a wooden spoon.
5
Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt. Let it cool to room temperature.
6
Once cooled, pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the machine's instructions.
7
When the ice cream is halfway done, add the ground walnuts so that they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
8
When finished, transfer the ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for at least 3 hours to achieve the desired consistency.
