Pour the hot milk in a thin stream, about a third of it first, into the mixture of egg yolks, whisking constantly.
⚙ Tempering eggsWhisk
💡The hot liquid goes into the eggs slowly while whisking, and only about a third of it in the first batch: that way they warm gradually and don't turn into scrambled eggs.
4
Return everything to the pot and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the custard thickens and coats the back of the spoon. Don't let it boil.
StoveSmall saucepanWooden spoon
💡Take it off the heat the moment the custard coats the back of the spoon (a line drawn with your finger stays sharp): a few more minutes on the heat and the yolks curdle into lumps. Straining removes whatever curdled anyway.
5
Strain and chill completely in the fridge.

6
Churn the mixture in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions, and transfer to the freezer.
Ice cream makerFreezer
💡A completely cold mixture freezes faster in the machine, with small ice crystals, and the ice cream comes out smooth.
7
Take the ice cream out of the freezer 15 minutes before serving, so it softens a little.
8
Serve scoops of ice cream with the grapes and peach.
