Ice Cream and Sorbet Base

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Ice Cream Base

    In a medium saucepan, combine heavy cream, whole milk, and granulated sugar over medium heat. Stir until sugar is dissolved. In a separate bowl, whisk egg yolks. Gradually add a cup of the warm cream mixture to the egg yolks, whisking constantly. Pour the egg yolk mixture back into the saucepan. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and coats the back of a spoon. Remove from heat, stir in vanilla extract, and let cool. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Sorbet

    In a blender, combine fresh seasonal fruit and lemon juice. Blend until smooth. Add additional sugar to taste, blending again until combined. Pour the mixture into a shallow dish and freeze for about 4 hours, stirring every hour until it reaches a sorbet consistency.

  3. 3

    Churn and Freeze

    Once the ice cream base is chilled, churn it in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions. Transfer to an airtight container and freeze until firm, about 4 hours. Serve alongside the sorbet or scoop into bowls.
