Description
A simple and delicious homemade vanilla ice cream that’s creamy and perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup whole milk
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 6 large egg yolks
Instructions
- In a saucepan, combine the whole milk and sugar over medium heat. Stir until the sugar dissolves.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks until they’re light and fluffy. Gradually pour the hot milk mixture into the egg yolks while whisking continuously to prevent curdling.
- Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly until it thickens slightly, about 5-7 minutes.
- Remove from heat and stir in the heavy cream, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined.
- Chill the mixture in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or until cool.
- Once chilled, pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
- Transfer to a container and freeze until firm, about 4 hours.
Notes
Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Don’t rush the chilling process to ensure a smooth texture.
