Method
Puff Pastry
- 1
Make the Puff Pastry
In a large bowl, mix flour and salt. Cut the cold butter into small cubes and incorporate into the flour with a pastry cutter until it resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add cold water until the dough comes together. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour. Roll out the dough into a rectangle, fold into thirds, and roll out again. Repeat this process 3-4 times to create layers. Chill again for 30 minutes.

Bake the Puff Pastry
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Roll the chilled dough to about 1/4 inch thickness and cut into shapes as desired. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown. Remove and let cool.

Make the Ice Cream Base
In a saucepan, heat the heavy cream, milk, and sugar over medium heat until the sugar dissolves. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks. Slowly pour the warm cream mixture into the yolks while whisking constantly. Return to the saucepan and cook over low heat until it thickens slightly. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract. Cool the mixture and churn in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions.
