Ingredients
- 3 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1/4-1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp vanilla or seeds of one vanilla bean
- 4 egg yolks
Instructions
- Separate whites from yolks. Whisk yolks and reserve white for another recipe.
- Add the milk and the sugar to a medium saucepan. Place the pan over medium heat and heat until the sugar is dissolved. The milk should be hot, but not boiling.
- Add salt and vanilla to the milk mixture.
- Slowly add the egg yolks into the milk mixture, whisking well. Continue to gently whisk until the egg mixture has thickened slightly.
- Using a metal colander, strain the mixture to remove any eggs that did not incorporate.
- Place the entire homemade vanilla bean ice cream mixture into a large bowl and place it in the fridge to completely cool. For best results chill it overnight.
- The next day, once the ice cream mixture is cooled, add it to an ice cream maker. Use an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
- After the ice cream has finished churning in the machine, place it in a medium-sized bowl with an airtight lid and then into the freezer or enjoy it immediately.
