Fresh Strawberries & Cream: Combine 2 cups thinly sliced, hulled fresh strawberries with 1/3 cup sugar and 3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice and let macerate for 2 hours. Drain and stir the accumulated juices into the chilled cream base. Chill the custard as directed, adding the reserved sliced strawberries during the last 5 minutes of chilling.

Decadent Chocolate Ice Cream (Makes eight 1/2-cup servings)

1-1/2 cups whole milk

1-1/3 cups heavy cream

1 vanilla bean

3/4 cup sugar

3/4 cup Dutch cocoa

2 large eggs

1 large egg yolk

1 teaspoon vanilla

8 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped

In a medium saucepan, combine the whole milk and heavy cream over medium-low heat. With a sharp knife, split the vanilla bean lengthwise; use the blunt edge of the knife to scrape out the “seeds” of the vanilla bean. Stir the seeds and bean pod into the milk/cream mixture. Simmer the milk/cream mixture over low heat for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, remove the vanilla bean pod and discard or rinse and reserve for future use. Combine the sugar, cocoa, eggs, and egg yolk in a medium bowl; use a hand mixer on medium speed to beat the sugar, cocoa, and eggs until thickened like mayonnaise. Measure out 1 cup of the hot milk/cream mixture.

With the mixer on low speed, add the hot milk/cream in a slow, steady stream and mix until completely incorporated. Stir the chopped chocolate into the saucepan with the hot milk/cream, and then stir the egg mixture into the hot milk/cream. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and begins to resemble a chocolate pudding. Transfer the chocolate mixture to a bowl. Cover with plastic wrap placed directly on the surface of the chocolate mixture, and refrigerate until completely cooled. Turn the machine on, pour the chilled custard into the freezer bowl and let mix until thickened, about 50 – 60 minutes.
