Bowl Of Premium Vanilla Ice Cream Recipe

Preparation

1. 1

   Make the Ice Cream Base

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

2. 2

   Temper the Eggs

   In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks. Slowly pour a small amount of the warm cream mixture into the egg yolks while whisking constantly to temper them. This will prevent the eggs from cooking.

3. 3

   Combine and Cook

   Pour the tempered egg yolk mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining cream mixture. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon (about 5-7 minutes). Do not let it boil.

4. 4

   Chill the Mixture

   Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Transfer the mixture to a bowl, cover it with plastic wrap, and refrigerate until completely chilled (at least 4 hours or overnight).

5. 5

   Churn the Ice Cream

   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.

6. 6

   Freeze the Ice Cream

   Transfer the soft ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for at least 4 hours or until firm. Serve in bowls and enjoy!
