Ingredients
- 100 grams vanilla protein powder
- 500 ml whole milk
- 250 ml heavy cream
- 150 grams Amarena cherries in syrup
- 4 units egg yolks
- 75 grams granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Directions
Step 1
In a medium saucepan, combine the milk and heavy cream. Heat over medium heat until the mixture is hot but not boiling, stirring occasionally.
Step 2
In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, granulated sugar, vanilla protein powder, and salt until smooth.
Step 3
Gradually pour about one-third of the hot milk mixture into the egg mixture, whisking constantly. This helps temper the eggs so they don't cook too quickly.
Step 4
Pour the egg mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining milk and cream.
Step 5
Cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon or spatula, until it thickens slightly and coats the back of the spoon, about 5-7 minutes. Be careful not to boil the mixture.
Step 6
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Allow the custard mixture to cool slightly.
Step 7
Transfer the custard to a bowl and cover with plastic wrap, pressing the wrap directly onto the surface to prevent a skin from forming. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until thoroughly chilled.
Step 8
Once chilled, pour the custard mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Step 9
During the last 5 minutes of churning, add the Amarena cherries and their syrup to incorporate them into the ice cream.
Step 10
Transfer the ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for at least 2 hours to firm up before serving.
