Ingredients

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

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, and granulated sugar. Split the vanilla bean lengthwise, scrape out the seeds using a knife, and add both the seeds and the bean pod to the mixture.

Step 2

Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir regularly until the sugar dissolves and the mixture begins to steam (do not let it boil). Remove from heat and let it sit for 10 minutes to infuse the vanilla flavor.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks until they are pale and slightly thickened. Slowly temper the egg yolks by adding a small amount of the warm cream mixture while whisking constantly.

Step 4

Gradually add the tempered egg yolks back into the saucepan with the rest of the cream mixture, stirring constantly.

Step 5

Return the saucepan to medium-low heat and cook the custard, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until it thickens enough to coat the back of the spoon (approximately 170-175°F using a thermometer). Do not let it boil.

Step 6

Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Strain the custard through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean bowl to remove the vanilla bean pod and any curdled bits.

Step 7

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface of the custard to prevent a skin from forming. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until completely chilled.

Step 8

Once chilled, churn the custard in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions. This usually takes about 20-25 minutes.

Step 9

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

Step 10

Serve the creamy vanilla ice cream plain or top with your favorite sauces, nuts, or fruit. Enjoy!
