Ingredients
Method
Techniques
  • white chocolate
  • half and half
Pour heated half and half over the chopped white chocolate, turn off the heat and stir until the chocolate is fully melted.
  • 4 whole egg yolks
  • ½ cup sugar
Whisk four egg yolks with half a cup of sugar in a bowl.
Stir the warm white chocolate and half and half into the yolks and sugar.
Set the bowl over a pan of simmering water as a double boiler and cook about five minutes, until thick enough that a finger drawn across the back of a wooden spoon holds a sharp line.
Set the bowl over a bowl of ice to cool quickly.
Cooling, flavoring and churning
  • 1⅓ cup Mexican crema
  • 1 tsp Mexican vanilla
  • 2 tbsp Xtabentun
Stir in the Mexican crema, the vanilla and the Xtabentun.
Chill a couple of hours in the refrigerator for the best texture, then churn in an ice cream maker about 25 minutes to the consistency of soft serve.
Scrape into a freezer container and firm up in the freezer for a few hours.
Serve sprinkled with the homemade Mexican granola.
