Prep time

Cook time

4 hours

Ingredient

  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 cup whole milk

  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 4 egg yolks

Equipment

Method

  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, sugar, and salt until the mixture is thick and pale yellow.
  2. In a saucepan, heat the milk and heavy cream over medium heat until it comes to a simmer. Remove from heat.
  3. Slowly pour the hot cream mixture into the egg mixture, whisking constantly to prevent the eggs from curdling.

  9. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

For best results, use high-quality vanilla extract. You can also add in some vanilla bean paste for an even stronger vanilla flavor. Make sure to cool the mixture completely before freezing to prevent ice crystals from forming. You can store the ice cream in the freezer for up to 1 week.
