Ingredients

• 2 cups Heavy cream
• 1 cup Whole milk
• 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 4 large Egg yolks
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of the heavy cream and all the granulated sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar completely dissolves (about 3-5 minutes). Do not let the mixture come to a boil.

Step 2

In a separate mixing bowl, whisk the egg yolks together until slightly thickened.

Step 3

Temper the egg yolks by slowly drizzling in about 1/2 cup of the warm cream mixture, whisking continuously to prevent scrambling.

Step 4

Pour the tempered egg yolk mixture back into the saucepan with the rest of the cream mixture. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until the mixture thickens and coats the back of the spoon (about 8-10 minutes). Do not let it boil.

Step 5

Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the remaining 1 cup of heavy cream, the whole milk, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix well.

Step 6

Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean bowl to remove any cooked egg bits, then let it cool to room temperature.

Step 7

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap, placing the wrap directly against the surface of the mixture to prevent a skin from forming. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or overnight.

Step 8

Once completely chilled, pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions (typically 20-25 minutes).

Step 9

Transfer the churned ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for at least 2 hours to firm up before serving.

Step 10

Serve and enjoy Sue’s perfectly creamy vanilla ice cream as is, or top with your favorite sauces, nuts, or fruits!
