Vanilla Ice Cream

Posted By Jill On July 24, 2011 @ 1:05 am In Desserts | No Comments

We planned to serve homemade Chocolate [1] and Vanilla Ice Cream along with Raspberry Turnovers [2] and layer cake on Saturday with friends over for dinner – but we forgot to serve the ice cream. We will give a container to our neighbor… and probably finish the rest ourselves this week.

Servings: 1 quart (8 servings 1/2 cup each)

Fresh
1 cup milk
2 cups heavy cream, divided
6 egg yolks

Pantry
2 tsp. vanilla extract

Set aside cream
Set a 1 quart container in the freezer to chill. Place 1 cup heavy cream in a medium mixing bowl and set aside.

Warm milk
In a medium stock pot, heat the milk, remaining 1 cup of cream, sugar, and salt over medium-low, do not boil.

Temper eggs
In a separate small mixing bowl, lightly beat egg yolks. Pour 1/4 cup of the warm milk mixture into the eggs and stir with a whisk. Then pour the egg milk mixture into the saucepan with the remaining milk, and continue to stir with a whisk. Continue to cook milk mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens enough to coat a spoon.

Combine and chill
Pour milk mixture into set aside cream through a mesh strainer. Discard solids in the strainer. Place the bowl over an ice bath and continue to whisk until smooth. Transfer to the chilled 1 quart container and place in the refrigerator until completely cooled.

Freeze
Freeze mixture in an ice cream or gelato maker.

Serve
Serve cold alone or along with other ice cream flavors.
