Remove from heat and strain through a fine sieve into a mixing bowl.
Cover with plastic wrap and chill.
When mixture is cold, whisk in remaining cup of half and half and transfer to ice cream freezer.
FOR THE ITALIAN MERINGUE
Set Control °Freak™ induction probe to 240°F. In a small saucepan over high heat, combine sugar and water and heat until probe reaches 240°F.
Remove from heat and reserve hot.
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a whisk, combine egg whites and cream of tartar and whip on medium speed until soft peaks form, about 2 minutes.
With the mixer running, stream in hot syrup. Increase speed to high and whip to desired stiffness.
