Ice Cream Base

Method

Ice Cream Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Ice Cream Base

    In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, and sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the mixture is warm and the sugar has dissolved.

  2. 2

    Temper the Egg Yolks

    In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks. Gradually add about 1 cup of the warm cream mixture to the egg yolks, whisking constantly to temper them. Once combined, pour the egg yolk mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining cream mixture.

  3. 3

    Thicken the Base

    Cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon (about 170°F/77°C). Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.

  4. 4

    Chill the Base

    Transfer the mixture to a bowl, cover, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.

  5. 5

    Churn the Ice Cream

    Once the base is thoroughly chilled, churn it in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.

  6. 6

    Freeze the Ice Cream

    Transfer the churned ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for at least 4 hours before serving.
