Equipment

  • 1 Ice Cream Maker I use my ice cream attachment for my kitchen aid.
  • 1 Candy Thermometer

Ingredients

  • 2 cup whole milk
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 4 egg yolks
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  • At least 12 hours prior to starting the recipe, make sure you freeze your ice cream maker bowl. You will not get the correct final texture without this.
  • In a large sauce pan add egg yolks and sugar. Whisk until eggs are light and fluffy.
  • Add milk to the egg and sugar mixture. Heat over medium heat to 165 stirring constantly.
  • Transfer to container, add in heavy cream and vanilla extract. Allow to cool in the fridge for at least 2 hours.
  • Add the cooled mixture to the ice cream churner and mix according to the ice cream maker's instructions.
  • Enjoy immediately as soft serve ice cream or transfer to a freezer container and allow to harden in the freezer for several more hours.
