Method

Ice Cream Base Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Custard

    In a saucepan, combine milk, heavy cream, and sugar over medium heat. Stir until the sugar dissolves. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks. Slowly pour the warm milk mixture into the egg yolks while whisking constantly. Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook on low heat until it thickens and coats the back of a spoon.

    Cool the Mixture

    Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract. Let the mixture cool to room temperature, then refrigerate until chilled.

Flavoring the Ice Cream

  1. 3

    Chocolate Flavor Option

    For chocolate ice cream, mix in cocoa powder and chocolate chips to the chilled custard base. Stir until fully incorporated.

  2. 4

    Limoncello Flavor Option

    For limoncello ice cream, mix in limoncello, lemon zest, and lemon juice to the chilled custard base. Stir until fully incorporated.

Churning and Freezing
