From the Sober Sophomore

Senior Citizen Ice Cream

1 cup pitted prunes -- (about 6 ounces) 1/3 cup armagnac 1 cup sugar 1 tbs cornstarch 3 lg. egg yolks 1 1/2 cup milk 1 tsp vanilla 6 oz. bittersweet chocolate -- chopped coarse 1 1/2 cup well-chilled heavy cream

Preparation

In a saucepan combine the prunes and 1/3 cup water and simmer the mixture for 5 to 7 minutes, or until almost all of the liquid is evaporated. Remove the pan from the heat, add the Armagnac, and let the prunes macerate for 3 hours. Drain the prunes in a sieve set over a bowl, reserving the liquid, and chop them coarse. In a bowl whisk together the sugar, the cornstarch, the yolks, and a pinch of salt, add the milk, scalded, in a stream, whisking constantly with a wooden spoon. Boil the custard, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes, add the vanilla and the chocolate, and whisk the mixture until the chocolate is melted. Transfer the custard mixture to a metal bowl set in a larger bowl of ice and cold water and let it cool, stirring. Stir in the cream and the prunes with the reserved liquid and freeze according to the manufacturer's instructions. Makes about 1 1/2 quarts.

It was actually a dead tie between him and Neo

You scored as Batman, the Dark Knight. As the Dark Knight of Gotham, Batman is a vigilante who deals out his own brand of justice to the criminals and corrupt of the city. He follows his own code and is often misunderstood. He has few friends or allies, but finds comfort in his cause.
