A classic. Real vanilla Ice Cream
Ingredients
- 2 cups of heavy cream shopping list
- 2 cups of whole milk shopping list
- 1 cup of sugar shopping list
- 1/2 of a vanilla bean, split in half and scraped (see note below) shopping list
- 6 egg yolks shopping list
How to make it
- In a medium size heavy sauce pan, heat cream, milk, vanilla bean (and the scraped pulp), sugar over medium heat.
- Bring it to a gentle simmer but DO NOT BOIL.
- In a separate, small mixing bowl, whisk egg yolks until smooth. Pour one cup of the hot liquid into the eggs and whisk constantly until smooth.
- Add the entire yolk mixture and whisk until fully incorporated.
- Bring it back to a simmer and continue to cook mixing constantly, until the mixture becomes thick and coats the back of a wooden spoon, about 4-6 minutes.
- Slowly pour the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve fitted over a glass or ceramic bowl to strain out any solids and the vanilla bean.
- Press the mixture with the back of a spoon to get all that great liquid out.
- Lay a sheet of plastic wrap across the top, touching the top of the liquid so a skin doesn’t form.
- Refrigerate for 2-4 hours.
- Pour into your ice cream maker and follow the manufacturer’s directions for processing, freezing and storing.
