Preparation Steps
1
Toast the ground walnuts in a dry skillet over low heat for 2-3 minutes, until fragrant, being careful not to burn them.
2
In a saucepan, combine the heavy cream, milk, and sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring until the sugar is completely dissolved. Do not boil.
3
In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks. Gradually whisk in a small amount of the warm milk mixture to temper the eggs.
4
Pour the egg mixture back into the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the cream thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon.
5
Remove from heat, add the toasted ground walnuts and vanilla extract, and stir well. Allow the mixture to cool completely at room temperature.
6
Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions. If you don't have an ice cream maker, pour it into a freezer-safe container and stir every hour during freezing.
7
Freeze for at least 4-5 hours, or until firm. Let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving.
