Ingredients:
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup whole milk
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 6 large egg yolks
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
Directions:
- In a medium saucepan, combine heavy cream and whole milk. Heat over medium heat until just starting to simmer.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together sugar and egg yolks until pale and thick.
- Slowly pour the hot cream mixture into the egg yolk mixture, whisking constantly to temper the eggs.
- 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).
- Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract.
- Pour the custard through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl to remove any lumps.
- Let the custard cool to room temperature, then cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight.
- Churn the custard in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
- Transfer to a lidded container and freeze for at least 2 hours, or until firm.
