Prep: 15min

Ingredients:

  • 4 large egg yolks
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 ½ cups whole milk
  • 1 ½ cups heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instruction:

  1. Chill the Cuisinart ice cream bowl for at least 24 hours or until solid. You should not hear any water sloshing around when you shake the bowl.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and granulated sugar until smooth and pale yellow in color.
  3. Add the milk to a saucepan over medium heat. Bring the milk to a simmer and then remove from the heat. Be sure not to boil.
  4. Add about ½ cup of the hot milk to the egg and sugar mixture and whisk constantly until combined.Then, add the tempered egg mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining hot milk.
  5. Heat the saucepan on low. Stirring constantly, heat until the base has thickened enough to coat the back of a spoon. This should take a few minutes.
  6. Strain the mixture into a bowl to remove any pieces of egg that may have cooked.
  7. Add the heavy cream and vanilla extract and stir to combine.
  8. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap making sure to have the plastic wrap touching the surface of the ice cream base. This will help keep it from forming a skin while chilling. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours.
  9. Churn the ice cream mixture in the bowl of your ice cream machine according to the Cuisinart manufacturer’s instructions (mine took about 20 minutes), until it is thick and the consistency of soft-serve ice cream.
  10. In the last two minutes, add your add-ins and flavors, and churn until they are evenly distributed.
  11. Spoon the ice cream into a shallow container or a loaf pan. Press plastic wrap or wax paper to the surface of the ice cream. Freeze for at least 4 hours, or until solid. Let sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes before serving.
