Ingredients

• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 2 cups Whole milk
• 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
• 6 pieces Large egg yolks
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, and half of the granulated sugar. Heat over medium heat until the mixture is hot but not boiling (about 175°F/80°C). Stir occasionally to prevent scorching.

Step 2

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and the remaining granulated sugar until the mixture is pale and slightly thickened.

Step 3

Once the cream mixture is heated, slowly ladle about 1 cup of the hot liquid into the egg yolk mixture, whisking constantly to temper the eggs. This prevents the yolks from cooking.

Step 4

Gradually pour the tempered egg mixture back into the saucepan with the rest of the cream, continuing to whisk.

Step 5

Reduce the heat to low and cook the custard, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon or heat-safe spatula. Cook until the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of the spoon and reaches 180°F (about 10 minutes). Do not let it boil.

Step 6

Remove the saucepan from the heat and strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean bowl to remove any cooked egg bits.

Step 7

Stir in the vanilla extract and salt. Allow the custard to cool slightly, then cover the surface with plastic wrap to prevent a skin from forming. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until completely chilled.

Step 8

Once chilled, churn the custard in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions until it thickens to a soft-serve consistency.

Step 9

Transfer the custard to an airtight container and freeze for an additional 2-3 hours to set fully before serving.

Step 10

Serve your homemade frozen custard in bowls or cones and enjoy!
