Leftover Panettone Ice Cream Recipe

Directions

Heat oven to 250 degrees F and arrange panettone chunks on a half-sheet pan in a single layer. Toast until chunks turn golden brown, 10 to 20 minutes. In a large saucepan over medium heat, bring cream and milk to a simmer. Stir in toasted panettone chunks, cover, and let steep for 1 hour. Pour bread and dairy mixture through a fine mesh strainer, pressing on bread with a wooden spoon or spatula to squeeze out as much liquid as possible. Measure out 2 cups of panettone-infused dairy and reserve the rest for another use. In a clean, heavy-bottomed saucepan, whisk egg yolks together with sugar until very well combined, pale yellow in color, and slightly thick. Slowly pour in panettone-infused dairy, whisking constantly, then bring saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring frequently, until a custard forms on the back of a spoon and a finger swiped across the back leaves a clean line, or until custard reaches 160 degrees F. Pour custard through a fine mesh strainer into an airtight container and chill overnight . The next day, churn according to manufacturer's instructions. Transfer ice cream to airtight container and chill in freezer for at least 4 to 5 hours before serving.
