Gradually stir about 1 cup of hot mixture into the beaten eggs. Add egg mixture to remaining hot mixture, stirring constantly. Cook 1 minute; remove from heat. Refrigerate 2 hours.

*Update* December 1, 2012 - We made Peanut Butter Ice Cream by adding one cup of peanut butter, after cooking but before adding eggs, and stirring until melted. DELICIOUS!
