Cook Time: 10 mins
Total Time: 15 mins
Yield:8 servings

Ingredients

4 egg yolks
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 cup whole milk
1 cup heavy cream
2 teaspoons vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste

Directions

Add egg yolks and sugar to a medium saucepan and whisk until a light yellow color and well combined.

In another small sauce pan, heat milk over medium-low heat until it just begins to simmer. Do not stir.

Gradually add milk to egg and sugar mixture, stirring constantly.

Return to heat until it reaches 165º F, but do not allow it to come to a boil. As soon as it reaches the correct temperature, remove it from the heat.

Pour custard base into an airtight container and store in the refrigerator until it chills to 65º F.

The longer the custard base chills, the creamier your ice cream will be.

Once the custard base is ready, stir in the heavy cream and vanilla extract and pour it into your ice cream maker and process according to your ice cream maker's instructions.

Notes
This recipe can easily be doubled for a 2-quart ice cream maker or multiplied for a gallon container.
