Ice Cream

Method

Ice Cream

1

1. Prepare base

In a medium saucepan, whisk together the milk, cream, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt. Place over medium heat and cook until the mixture is hot and steaming, but not yet boiling (about 170°F / 77°C). Do not allow to boil.

2. Temper eggs (optional for custard base)

If you prefer a custard base, whisk in 2 large egg yolks once the milk/cream is hot, then cook gently, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon. If not using eggs, skip this step.

3. Chill base

Pour the base through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean bowl to remove any solids. Let it cool to room temperature, then cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.

4. Churn

Churn the cooled base in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions until it reaches a soft-serve consistency, usually 20–25 minutes.

5. Freeze

Transfer the ice cream to a freezer-safe container. Press a sheet of parchment directly on the surface to prevent ice crystals, seal, and freeze until firm, at least 4 hours.
