Description

This is creamy, sweet and rich. It’s a perfect paring for peach pie or pecan bars. Adapted from Bon Apetit.

Ingredients

  • 1-½ cup Heavy Whipping Cream
  • 1-½ cup Whole Milk
  • ¾ cups Brown Sugar, Divided Use
  • ½ whole Vanilla Beans Split Lengthwise
  • 6 whole Egg Yolks

Preparation

In a large sauce pot combine heavy whipping cream, whole milk, and 1/2 cup sugar. Scrape in seeds from vanilla bean and add pod. Bring cream mixture to simmer over medium heat, stirring constantly.
Whisk yolks and remaining 1/4 cup sugar until very thick.

Slowly whisk some of the hot cream mixture into the yolk mixture. Return egg mixture to saucepan and heat over medium heat until custard thickens and thermometer reads 180°F. Strain custard through a sieve into large bowl. Cover and chill overnight.

Process the custard in ice cream maker according to manufacturer’s instructions. Transfer ice cream to container. Serve immediately as soft serve or cover and freeze until firm.

This was my first attempt at ice cream EVER (well, first attempt at making it without the help of chef boyfriend) and it turned out PERFECTLY. I chilled the custard in an ice bath and let it chill for about 7 hours and then used my ice cream maker and it was still delicious. This is definitely my go-to recipe for a simple vanilla ice cream going forward!
