Ice Cream Base

Sorbet Base

Method

Ice Cream

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ice Cream Base

    In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, and sugar. Cook over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves.

  2. 2

    Mix Egg Yolks

    In a bowl, whisk the egg yolks. Slowly add a cup of the warm cream mixture to the yolks, whisking constantly to temper the eggs.

  3. 3

    Combine and Heat

    Pour the egg yolk mixture back into the saucepan, and cook over low heat, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon (about 170°F).

  4. 4

    Chill the Mixture

    Remove from heat, stir in vanilla extract and a pinch of salt. Pour the mixture into a bowl, cover, and refrigerate until completely chilled (at least 4 hours or overnight).

  5. 5

    Churn the Ice Cream

    Pour the chilled mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Transfer to a lidded container and freeze until firm.

Sorbet

  3. 8

    Mix Together

    Combine the fruit puree with the cooled syrup and lemon juice. Mix well.

  4. 9

    Chill the Mixture

    Refrigerate the mixture until cold, about 1 hour.
