Creamy Vanilla Frozen Custard Delight

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 6 large egg yolks
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract

Directions:

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine heavy cream and whole milk. Heat over medium heat until just starting to simmer.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together sugar and egg yolks until pale and thick.
  3. Slowly pour the hot cream 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 and coats the back of a spoon (170-175°F, 77-80°C).
  5. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract.
  6. Pour the custard through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl to remove any lumps.
  7. Let the custard cool to room temperature, then cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight.
  8. Churn the custard in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
  9. Transfer to a lidded container and freeze for at least 2 hours, or until firm.
