Ice Cream Base

Chocolate Flavoring

Strawberry Flavoring

Method

Preparing the Ice Cream Base

  1. 1

    Combine Ingredients

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

  2. 2

    Whisk Egg Yolks

    In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks until they are light and fluffy.

  3. 3

    Temper the Egg Yolks

    Slowly pour about half of the warm cream mixture into the egg yolks while whisking continuously. This will temper the yolks and prevent them from scrambling.

  4. 4

    Combine Mixtures

    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 and coats the back of a spoon (about 5-7 minutes).

  5. 5

    Chill the Mixture

    Remove from heat and strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl. Let cool to room temperature, then cover and refrigerate until completely chilled (at least 2 hours).

Vanilla Ice Cream

  1. 6

    Prepare Vanilla Flavoring

    Slice the vanilla bean in half lengthwise and scrape the seeds into the chilled ice cream base mixture. Add the scraped vanilla bean pod for extra flavor.

  2. 7

    Churn the Ice Cream

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

  3. 8

    Freeze

    Transfer to a container and freeze for at least 4 hours or until firm.

Chocolate Ice Cream

  1. 9

    Prepare Chocolate Flavoring

    After making the base, remove the vanilla bean and whisk in cocoa powder until fully incorporated.

  2. 10

    Churn the Ice Cream

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

  3. 11

    Freeze

    Transfer to a container and freeze for at least 4 hours or until firm.

Strawberry Ice Cream

  1. 12

    Prepare Strawberry Flavoring

    Blend fresh strawberries and lemon juice in a blender until smooth. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve to remove seeds.

  2. 13

    Combine with Base

    Add the strawberry puree to the chilled ice cream base and mix well.

  3. 14

    Churn the Ice Cream

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

  4. 15

    Freeze

    Transfer to a container and freeze for at least 4 hours or until firm.
