1
Make the Base
In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, sugar, and salt. Heat over medium heat until the mixture is warm and the sugar is dissolved, but do not let it boil.
2
Prepare the Egg Yolks
In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks until they are slightly thickened. Gradually add a small amount of the warm cream mixture to the yolks, whisking constantly to temper them.
3
Combine Mixtures
Once tempered, pour the egg yolk mixture back into the saucepan with the cream mixture. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon.
4
Add Vanilla
Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Let the mixture cool to room temperature.
5
Chill
Cover the mixture and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best flavor.
6
Churn the Ice Cream
Once chilled, pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
7
Freeze
Transfer the ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for at least 4 hours before serving.
