Servings: persons

4 ounces prunes
1/3 cup sherry P.X., you could use cream sherry but the difference would be astronomically huge and just wrong-spend the $20 to get the real deal or wait to make it until you can.
1/4 teaspoon spice or, if you are feeling like an adventurous alchemist, try homemade Garam Masala with rose petals-I'll give you the rec
1 tea bag Earl Gray
1/3 cup sugar
1 cup cream warmed
5 egg yolks beaten to lemon yellow
1 cup milk
1 pinch salt
1/2 cup sugar
1 cup heavy cream warmed
7 ounces bittersweet chocolate chopped
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 tablespoon cognac or PX Sherry

1
Put tea bag in 1 c of boiling water, let steep 2-3 minutes and remove.Combine Earl Gray tea and spices. Add the prunes and cook 20 minutes on a low flame until prunes are softened. Remove with remaining liquid(only a few tablespoons should be left), add sherry and let this macerate overnight or at least 5 hours.
2
Caramelize sugar with 2T water. Add cream to caramel slowly and dissolve any clumps you may have over a low flame.( I use Milk Thistle Farm cream...it's amazing).
3
Slowly add warm caramel cream to eggs, return to pan and stir till thickened over a low heat (don't let the mixture get much over 160u00b0). Then add milk.
4
Puree 1/2 of the prunes and add to the mix. Refrigerate the mixture overnight.
5
Blend in an ice cream maker. When it is almost done, add the rest of the prunes, finely chopped with the accumulated juices and finish blending. Freeze to finish.
6
Best eaten softly frozen... and with chocolate! Cookies, flourless chocolate cake, whatever appeals... and more sherry, either in a glass or poured over the ice cream. Or, you could make the best chocolate sauce ever:

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
Coconut cream is a reliable plant-based alternative to dairy cream.
