Recipe Ingredients

3 cups 711mlHeavy cream
1 cup 237mlMilk
1/2 cup 99g / 3.5ozGranulated sugar
2   Vanilla beans - split lengthwise
1 tablespoon 15mlPure vanilla extract

Place yolks in a bowl and whisk constantly, slowly pouring in 1 cup of the hot-milk mixture. Continue to whisk until smooth.

Slowly pour the egg mixture into the saucepan, whisking constantly until well combined. Place saucepan over medium heat and stir constantly until the mixture is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon (6 to 8 minutes); it should never boil.

Strain mixture into a bowl. Cool to room temperature, then freeze in an ice cream maker according to manufacturer's instructions.

This recipe yields 1 quart to serve 8.
