I was surprised this recipe neglected to cook the eggs. Is that an error? I cooked them in the warm milk as I have with other recipes. The end product was amazing. Of course the "white chocolate" doesn't have any flavor; it just makes the end product very satiny. And I proved that adding a T of liquor doesn't impact taste when I added Ouzo! The ginger flavor dominates.
Followed exactly; wanted ginger ice cream. Ended up with half a Talenti container...No way does 2 cups + 2 eggs make a quart! Ok flavor, possibly too much ginger could have used another cup of milk or cream? Leaden.
