1
MAKE THE ICE CREAM: In a medium saucepan, warm the milk and cream.

3
In a medium bowl, whisk the egg yolks with the sugar and salt until thick and pale.

Strain through a fine sieve over the cheese and chocolate.
7
Let stand for 1 minute, then stir until smooth.
8
Refrigerate until chilled, 4 hours.

Pour the custard into an ice cream maker and churn.

MAKE THE PECAN PRALINE: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
