Base Ingredients

Method

Preparation Steps

1

Combine Dairy

In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole milk and heavy cream. Whisk together until well blended.

2

Add Sugar and Salt

Add the granulated sugar and salt to the milk and cream mixture. Whisk until the sugar is fully dissolved.

3

Incorporate Vanilla

Mix in the vanilla extract until evenly distributed throughout the base mixture.

4

Prepare Egg Yolks

In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks until they are light in color and slightly thickened.

5

Temper the Egg Yolks

Slowly pour a cup of the warm milk and cream mixture into the egg yolks while whisking continuously to prevent the eggs from cooking.

6

Combine Mixtures

Add the tempered egg yolk mixture back into the remaining milk and cream mixture in the large bowl. Stir to combine.

7

Heat the Mixture

Pour the combined mixture into a saucepan over medium heat. Cook while stirring constantly until it thickens slightly and coats the back of a spoon, about 5-7 minutes.

8

Cool the Base

Remove from heat and let the mixture cool to room temperature. Then refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until completely chilled.

9

Churn the Soft Serve

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.

10

Serve

Scoop the soft serve into cones or bowls and serve immediately. Alternatively, freeze for an additional hour for a firmer texture.
