Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Mix the Base

    In a mixing bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, whole milk, sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until the sugar is dissolved.

  2. 2

    Prepare Egg Yolks

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

  3. 3

    Combine Mixtures

    Slowly pour the cream mixture into the bowl with the egg yolks, whisking constantly to temper the yolks, then transfer the mixture back to the saucepan.

  4. 4

    Cook the Mixture

    Cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring frequently, until it thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon (about 170°F or 77°C).

  5. 5

    Chill

    Remove from heat and let the mixture cool to room temperature. Then refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight.

  6. 6

    Churn the Ice Cream

    Pour the chilled mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.

  7. 7

    Freeze

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