THE HOT LIS T 2024 culturecheesemag.com 59 RECIPES fWhisk together sugar, egg yolks, salt, and pepper in a medium mixing bowl. fPour ⅓ of the hot milk mixture over the egg mixture, stirring immediately (this allows the egg temperature to rise and prevents scrambling when added back to the pan). fAdd tempered eggs to the pan with the remaining milk mixture. Stir with a wooden spoon on low heat until thick. (It should coat the back of the spoon—this is called "nappe.") fRemove from heat and place pan in an ice bath to cool. fOnce cool, strain and churn in an ice cream maker, following manufacturer instructions.
