2. In large heavy saucepan, bring maple syrup to boil over medium-high heat; boil until reduced to about 2/3 cup (150 mL), about 4 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in 10% and whipping creams; heat over medium heat until tiny bubbles form around edge of pan.

4. Strain custard into 9-inch (2.5 L) square metal cake pan. Place plastic wrap directly on surface; refrigerate until cold, about 1-1/2 hours.

5. Freeze until almost solid, 3 to 4 hours. Break into chunks and pur?in food processor until smooth. (Or freeze in ice-cream machine according to manufacturer's instructions.)

6. Spoon one-quarter of the ice cream into airtight container. Sprinkle with one-third of the walnuts, swirling slightly with spoon. Repeat twice. Cover with remaining ice cream. Freeze until firm, about 6 hours.
