Nutty BuddiesSource: featured during the presentation of Best Friends during TBS Superstation`s Dinner & a MovieFor the Ice Cream
2 cups half-and-half or milk
1 cup whipping cream
2/3 cup granulated sugar
1 vanilla bean
7 egg yolksFor that irresistible Nutty Buddy coating
16 ounces semi-sweet chocolate
2 cups shelled, unsalted peanuts
8 waffle cones
1 good buddy (to taste)Make the ice cream
Slit vanilla bean lengthwise and scrape the seeds into a medium saucepan. Add the vanilla bean pod, half-and- half, cream and place over medium heat. Bring to a simmer and reduce the heat to low, stirring often.Combine the sugar and the egg yolks in a mixing bowl and whisk until very thick and pale, at least 3 minutes.Slowly whisk a cup or so of the hot cream mixture into the egg yolk mixture, then whisk the yolk mixture back into the saucepan as slowly as possible.Return the saucepan to a medium-low heat and cook, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon.Remove any lumps that might have formed by straining the hot custard through a fine strainer into a clean stainless steel bowl. Transfer any vanilla pods trapped in the strainer back into the custard. Place the bowl of custard into a larger bowl of ice water to chill the mixture as quickly as possible, stirring occasionally.Transfer the chilled mixture to your ice cream machine and freeze according to the manufacturer`s instructions. (Allow 30 to 40 minutes.)Ask your buddy nicely to crank the machine while you slowly melt the chocolate in a bowl over boiling water and chop the nuts. (Isn`t it great to have a best friend?)Once the ice cream is dense, creamy and silky smooth, drizzle a tablespoon of melted chocolate into each waffle cone followed by an extremely firm scoop of vanilla ice cream.Carefully dip each cone first into the melted chocolate; then immediately into the chopped peanuts. Repeat if desired.These nutty buddies will make you popular among your friends but, when it`s time to do the dishes, you`ll find out who your real buddies are.Servings: 4
