Ingredients6 (18 to 20 ounces) ripe apricots 1 tablespoon neutral flavored oil, such as grapeseed 6 large egg yolks 5 ounces (approximately 3/4 cup) sugar 1 1/3 cups whole milk 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract 8 ounces Vermont Creamery Madagascar Vanilla Crème Fraîche Get Ingredients Directions STEP 1 Heat oven to 425°F. Line baking sheet with aluminum foil; set aside. STEP 2 Slice apricots in half; remove pits. Lightly brush skin-side with thin layer of oil to prevent sticking. Place onto prepared baking sheet, cut-side up. Roast 20-22 minutes or until soft and juicy. STEP 3 Let stand until cool enough to handle. Puree apricots in blender until very smooth. Press puree through a fine mesh strainer to remove any bits of skin if desired. STEP 4 Vigorously whisk egg yolks and sugar together in medium bowl until smooth. STEP 5 Place milk and vanilla extract into medium saucepan. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until mixture comes to a gentle simmer. Reduce heat to low. Ladle small amount of hot milk into egg yolks while whisking constantly. Pour mixture back into saucepan, using spatula to scrape everything from bowl. STEP 6 Cook over low heat, stir constantly with a heat-proof spatula or wooden spoon 3-5 minutes or until mixture thickens slightly. (You should be able to draw a line through the liquid along the back of the spatula.) Remove from heat. STEP 7 Whisk in crème fraîche, followed by pureed apricots. STEP 8 Transfer mixture to clean bowl; cover with plastic food wrap, gently pressing wrap directly against liquid to prevent a skin from forming. Refrigerate at least 4-5 hours or until very cold. For best results, refrigerate overnight. STEP 9 Prepare in ice cream maker according to manufacturers instructions.
