- Beat in eggs, lemon juice, and vanilla.

Cheddar Ice Cream Recipe
A recipe from Gael Gand, pastry chef and partner at Tru restaurant in Chicago, and cheesemaker Joe Widmer (who makes a great Cheddar). Recipe provided courtesy of the American Dairy Association.
Ingredients
- 2 cups half-and-half
- 2 cups milk
- Fresh white ground pepper
- 1/2 vanilla bean, split lengthwise
- 9 large egg yolks
- 1-1/3 cups granulated sugar
- 16 ounces grated aged Cheddar
Preparation
- Heat the half-and-half, milk, vanilla bean, and white ground pepper in a saucepan over medium heat to boil. Stir occasionally to make be sure the mixture doesn’t burn or stick to the bottom of the pan.
- Turn off the heat and let cool 10 minutes to infuse the flavors.
- Whisk together the egg yolks and sugar in a bowl. In a thin stream, whisk half of the half-and-half mixture into the egg yolk mixture. Then pour the remaining half in and whisk well. Pour the mixture back into the saucepan.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly. At 160°F, the mixture will give off a puff of steam. When the mixture reaches 180° it will be thickened and creamy, like eggnog. If you don’t have a thermometer, test it by dipping a wooden spoon into the mixture. Run your finger down the back of the spoon. If the stripe remains clear, the mixture is ready; if the edges blur, the mixture is not quite thick enough yet.
- When the mixture is ready, quickly remove it from the heat. Pour it through a fine sieve into a bowl. Stir in the grated cheese and whisk to melt.
- Rest the bottom of the bowl in an ice bath (a bowl with of ice cubes and add cold water to cover). Let the mixture cool for 2 hours, stirring occasionally. Then freeze according to the directions of your ice cream machine. Makes 6 servings.
