Vanilla Ice Cream

Courses: Dessert
Serves: 6 people

Recipe Ingredients

2 cups 474mlCream
1 cup 237mlMilk
1/2 cup 99g / 3.5ozSugar
1/8 teaspoon 0.6mlSalt
1   Vanilla bean - halved, and
  Seeds scraped
4   Egg yolks

Recipe Instructions

Bring the cream, milk, sugar, salt and vanilla bean to a boil in a medium saucepan.

Meanwhile, whisk the yolks together.

Once the cream mixture has come to a rolling boil, turn off the heat. Take 1 cup of the hot cream mixture and stream it slowly into the yolks, whisking.

Slowly pour the egg-cream mixture back into the saucepan. Whisk. Turn the flame on low and cook until the base thickens slightly, about 2 to 3 minutes. Be careful not to overcook, as the mixture will curdle.

Strain through a fine-mesh strainer and chill for 2 to 3 hours or overnight.

Process in an ice cream machine according to the manufacturer's directions.
