1 1/2cupsheavy cream
1 1/2cupshalf and half
1/4lbchanterelle mushroomsfresh, or 1-2 ounces dried
1/2cupsugar
6large egg yolks
1pinchsea salt
Instructions
Gently simmer the chanterelles in a mixture of half & half and heavy cream for about 5 minutes. Blend the mixture with a stick blender until smooth.
Separate 6 eggs, reserving the whites for another use. Whip the egg yolks, and slowly pour a bit of the hot cream mixture into the yolks, whisking constantly. Add a bit at a time until it's all incorporated.
Transfer the mixture back to a saucepan, and add in the remaining ingredients. Cook on very low heat until it thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon.
Refrigerate until cold, and then freeze the cold custard in an ice cream maker following the manufacturers' instructions.
