Step-by-Step Instructions

1
In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, granulated sugar, and pure maple syrup. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture is hot but not boiling.
2
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolks. Gradually add a small amount of the warm cream mixture to the egg yolks, whisking constantly to prevent the eggs from scrambling. This is called tempering the eggs.
3
Once the eggs are tempered, slowly pour the egg yolk mixture into the saucepan with the cream mixture, whisking constantly to prevent lumps from forming.
4
Continue to heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens and coats the back of a spoon. This should take about 10-15 minutes.
5
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the chopped walnuts and vanilla extract. Let the mixture cool to room temperature, then cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
6
Once the mixture is chilled, pour it into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions.
7
Once the ice cream is churned, transfer it to an airtight container and place it in the freezer to harden for at least 2 hours before serving.
