Place eggs in a small bowl and beat well. Set aside
In a saucepan, mix milk, brown sugar, molasses, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. Heat until it just starts to bubble.
Pour hot milk mixture over beaten egg mixture. Stir well.
Pour this mixture back into saucepan and heat, stirring constantly until mixture becomes thick and sticks to the back of a spoon.
Chill for at least 3 hours.
After mixture is chilled, stir in heavy whipping cream.
Pour into your ice cream machine.
Mix for 25-30 minutes (or according to manufacturer’s instructions).
Delicious!
Helpful Hint:
If you want a hint of gingerbread flavor, rather than a full flavor – just reduce the amount of spices you add to the ice cream mixture.
