1 cup heavy cream
8 large egg yolks
9 ounces vanilla sugar, or regular granulated sugar - about 1 ⅛ cups

Temper the warm cream mixture into the eggs by drizzle spoonfuls into the egg yolks while whisking until at least half the cream is incorporated. Add the egg mixture into the remaining cream and place over low heat. Cook stirring constantly until the custard reaches 175°F on an instant read thermometer. Pour the custard into a glass or stainless steel bowl placed over an ice bath. Stir occasionally until the mixture cools, about 30 minutes. Cover and refrigerate the custard overnight or at least 8 hours. (About an hour before freezing the ice cream make the peanut butter fudge ripple and set aside to cool. See instructions below.)
