Ingredients:
– 2 cups whole milk
– 1 cup heavy cream
– 1/2 cup sugar
– 4 egg yolks
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Recipe:
1. In a saucepan, heat the whole milk, heavy cream, and half of the sugar over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. Remove from heat and set aside.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and the remaining sugar until light and creamy.
3. Slowly pour the heated milk mixture into the egg yolk mixture, whisking constantly to temper the eggs.
4. Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon.
5. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Strain the custard through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean bowl to remove any lumps.
6. Cover the custard with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface to prevent a skin from forming. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight.
7. Once the custard is thoroughly chilled, pour it into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
8. Transfer the churned ice cream to a freezer-safe container and freeze for an additional 2-4 hours, or until firm.
