Whisk the egg yolks with the sugar until pale in color. Add 1/2 cup of the hot zucchini mix, whisking rapidly to incorporate. Add the yolk mixture back into the pot, whisking constantly.
- Step 4
Cook over med-low heat, stirring frequently, until mixture coats the back of a spoon. Strain the ice cream base through a fine-meshed sieve into a stainless steel bowl and chill over an ice bath. Stir in the beer and vanilla. Churn in an ice cream maker.
