Peach Cobbler Ice Cream

INGREDIENTS:

- 3 c. whole milk - 2 c. heavy cream - 1/2 c. sugar - 1/4 tsp. Kosher salt - 1 vanilla bean - 5 large egg yolks - 1 refrigerated pie crust - 1 tsp. cinnamon - 1 tsp. sugar - 2 c. fresh peaches, chopped - 2 tbsp. dark brown sugar - 3 tbsp. bourbon

DIRECTIONS

1. Whisk together the first 5 ingredients in a large, heavy saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring often, for 4 minutes, or until sugar dissolves and the mixture is hot. Gradually whisk about 1 cup of hot milk mixture into yolks. Whisk yolk mixture into remaining milk mixture. Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, for 8 to 10 minutes, or until mixture thickens and coats a spoon.

2. Pour through a fine wire-mesh strainer into a bowl, discarding solids. Cool completely. Chill 8 to 24 hours or until very cold.

3. Unroll refrigerated pie crust on a baking sheet and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar. Bake at 425° for 10 minutes. Cool and break into 1⁄2-inch pieces. Mash together peaches, brown sugar, and bourbon with a fork until smooth. Fold pie crust and peach mixture into prepared ice cream. Pour mixture into the bowl of an electric ice-cream maker, and process according to the manufacturer's instructions. Freeze 1 hour before serving. Store up to 1 week.
