Praline Ice Cream - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups pralines, finely crushed (Pralines Aux Pacanes - Pecan Pralines or your own recipe)
3 cups milk
4 egg yolks, well beaten
3/4 cup sugar
1 pinch salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups heavy cream

Preparation

Stir milk gradually into egg yolks.
Add sugar and salt; cook in the top of a double boiler until mixture coats the spoon.
Chill thoroughly.
Whip cream to very soft peaks (it won't quite hold its shape).
Add pralines, vanilla and whipped cream.
Freeze either in an ice cream maker or in the freezer (if using your freezer, stir twice during freezing to prevent large ice crystals from forming).
