Custard: Red Hot

Benthik said he used to get red hot ice cream at Cold Stone, but they stopped serving it. I wondered if I could recreate it :-).

The red hots are about 80% sugar by mass, so I figured I should cut the sugar from the standard 1 cup to ¼ cup.

Ingredients

I1:🥛3 cups half and half
I2:🥚6 egg yolks
I3:🍬¼ cup sugar
I4:🧂¼ tsp salt
I5:🍬1 cup red hots

Instructions

Step 1:Mix
I1: 🥛 3 cups half and half
I2: 🥚 6 egg yolks
I3: 🍬 ¼ cup sugar
I4: 🧂 ¼ tsp salt
Step 2:Sous vide at 175F for an hour
I5: 🍬 1 cup red hots
Step 3:Churn.

Notes

I thought I’d blend the red hots with the sugar, but the internet noted I could melt them, so I waited until the steeping phase and steeped them then.
