Apple Cider Doughnut Ice Cream
When reduced to a syrup, apple cider takes on a tang as pronounced as its sweetness. It plays well here against sweet cream and toasty apple-laced doughnuts.

Ingredients
- 4 cups apple cider
- 6 egg yolks
- 1/2 cup raw sugar
- 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon mace
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 teaspoon bourbon
- 1 1/2 cups crumbled apple cider doughnuts
Directions
- In a wide, heavy saucepan, reduce apple cider over medium heat to 1/2 cup. Set aside.
- In a second saucepan, whisk together egg yolks, sugar, salt, and mace, then slowly stir in cream and milk until smooth. Stir in reduced cider syrup. Bring to a medium-low flame and cook custard until it coats the back of a spoon but a swiped finger leaves a clean line. Stir in bourbon, then strain into an airtight container and chill overnight.
- The next day, churn ice cream according to manufacturer's instructions. In the last minute of churning, add doughnut crumbles. Transfer to freezer for 4 to 6 hours or until firm.
