Ingredients

2 cups heavy cream

1 cup whole milk

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1/4 teaspoon ground ginger

1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Pinch of ground nutmeg

Pinch of salt

6 large egg yolks

2 tablespoons molasses

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Directions

Combine brown sugar, egg yolks, salt, and baking soda in a 3-quart stainless steel saucier, then whisk in cookie crumbs, cream, and milk. Cook over medium-low heat for a few minutes, until warm to the touch. Increase heat to medium, stirring and scraping constantly with a flexible spatula, and cook until steaming hot, about 8 minutes or to 155 degrees F . Stir in liqueur and vanilla and season to taste with salt, black pepper, and/or additional spices if desired. Pour through a fine-mesh sieve into a large stainless steel bowl, pressing gently with a flexible spatula to release the liquid trapped in the crumbs.
