If you’ve never tempered eggs before, this is the term for the process of mixing them slowly with warmed milk, then transferring them back into the saucepan to cook more before straining. It might seem like a lot of steps, but once you dive in it’s surprisingly straightforward. It’s necessary for getting that thick smooth custard that makes ice creams like this so rich, without cooking the eggs too fast. After all, no one wants scrambled eggs in their ice cream!
