Buttermilk Ice Cream

I know, it sounds a little weird, I was hesitant. But, oh boy, this is a delicious alternative to vanilla ice cream. It has that same goodness that sour cream has when you add it to cheesecake or sour cream apple pie. I found it from this website. It is simple, creamy, and delicious.



1 cup whipping cream
6 large egg yolks
1/2 cup sugar
1 cup cold buttermilk

Bring whipping cream to simmer in heavy medium saucepan. Whisk egg yolks and sugar in medium bowl to blend. Gradually whisk hot cream into egg yolk mixture. Return mixture to saucepan and stir over medium heat until custard thickens slightly, about 6 minutes (do not boil). Strain into bowl. Stir in 1 cup cold buttermilk. Refrigerate custard until cold, about 2 hours. Process in ice cream maker according to manufacturer's instructions. (Can be prepared up to 5 days ahead. Freeze in covered container.)
