Aegean Dreams – Greek Frozen Treat

Ingredients

• 2 cup milk, whole
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 3 egg yolks, large
• 1/2 cup lemon juice, freshly squeezed
• 1 cup Greek meringue cookies, crumbled
• 2 cup vanilla ice cream, softened

Instructions

1. 1

   In a saucepan over medium heat, combine milk, heavy cream, sugar, and salt. Stir until the sugar dissolves completely.

2. 2

   In a separate bowl, whisk together egg yolks. Slowly pour about half of the warm milk mixture into the egg yolks, stirring constantly.

3. 3

   Return the tempered yolk mixture to the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the custard thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon (approximately 5-7 minutes).

4. 4

   Remove from heat and strain into a large bowl. Stir in lemon juice until well combined. Cover with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface of the custard to prevent a skin from forming. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.

5. 5

   Once chilled, remove from refrigerator and mix in crumbled Greek meringue cookies and softened vanilla ice cream until well combined.

6. 6

   Transfer the mixture into an ice cream maker and process according to the manufacturer's instructions.

7. 7

   Transfer the frozen treat to a lidded container and freeze for at least 4 hours or overnight.
