Recipes for boiled homemade ice cream with raw eggs

Serious Mealtimes / Robyn Lee

Why does one ice cream recipe melt quickly and loosely while another remains cool and scoopable after sitting on the counter for 15 minutes? Why are some ice creams so thick and rich that they almost have to be chewed? And why do some ice creams taste rich and almost warm while others taste like frozen cream?

The answer at least in part is eggs.
