INGREDIENTS

  • Dairy Products

    • 🥛 1 cup heavy cream
    • 3 cups half-and-half cream

  • Eggs and sugar

    • 🥚 8 egg yolks
    • 🍬 1 cup white sugar
    • 🧂 ⅛ teaspoon salt

STEPS

1

Heat heavy cream and half-and-half in a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium-low heat until barely simmering, stirring frequently. Reduce heat to low.

2

Whisk egg yolks, sugar, and salt together in a large bowl until thoroughly combined.

3

Slowly pour about 1/2 cup of hot cream mixture into egg yolk mixture, whisking constantly. Repeat three times more, whisking thoroughly before adding each additional 1/2 cup of hot cream to egg yolk mixture. Pour egg yolk mixture back into the saucepan with remaining hot cream, and whisk constantly over medium-low heat until the mixture thickens and will coat the back of a spoon, 5 to 8 minutes. Do not let mixture boil.

4

Pour ice cream base into a bowl and allow to cool for about 20 minutes; place in refrigerator and chill overnight. The next day, pour into an ice cream maker, and freeze according to the manufacturer's directions. Remove the ice cream, pack into a covered container, and freeze for 2 hours or overnight before serving.
