I have Ben and Jerry’s book! I have loved using it so far. But what I can’t figure out is if this sweet cream base needs to be cooked because it has eggs in it. If it needs to be cooked how would that be done?
Thank you!

It says to pastureize the eggs. I can't remember the times, but you can do this in your kitchen with a bot, boiling water and the eggs. Just look up pasturizing instructions. This'll kill any bad bacteria without cooking the egg.

It doesn't *need* to be cooked, but the base comes out better if you heat it in a heavy bottom sauce pan over medium to medium-high heat, stirring constantly. When it thickens slightly, it's ready to refrigerate and cool down.
