Great choice! Classic custard-based ice cream (also known as French-style ice cream) has a rich, creamy texture thanks to the egg yolks. Here’s how to make it from scratch.

🍦 Classic Custard-Based Ice Cream Recipe

Servings: About 1 quart

Ingredients:

• 2 cups heavy cream
• 1 cup whole milk
• ¾ cup sugar (divided)
• 4 large egg yolks
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (or other flavoring)
• Pinch of salt

🔥 Instructions:

1. Heat the Dairy & Sugar

• In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream, milk, and ½ cup of sugar over medium heat.
• Stir occasionally until the mixture is hot but not boiling (about 175°F/80°C).

2. Whisk the Egg Yolks

• In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and the remaining ¼ cup of sugar until pale and slightly thickened.

3. Temper the Eggs

• Slowly add a ladle of hot cream mixture into the yolks while whisking continuously.
• Repeat this step 2–3 times to gradually warm up the eggs without scrambling them.

4. Cook the Custard

• Pour the tempered egg mixture back into the saucepan.
• Cook over low heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon until the custard thickens (about 170–175°F or until it coats the back of the spoon).
• Do NOT let it boil, or the eggs will curdle!

5. Strain & Cool

• Remove from heat and strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any lumps.
• Stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt.
• Let it cool slightly, then cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight for best results.

6. Churn the Ice Cream

• Once chilled, pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions (usually 20–30 minutes).
• The ice cream should have a soft-serve consistency.

7. Freeze to Firm Up

• Transfer to an airtight container and freeze for 2–4 hours until firm.

🍫 Flavor Variations:

• Chocolate: Add ¼ cup cocoa powder while heating the milk.
• Strawberry: Blend 1 cup of pureed strawberries into the custard before churning.
• Cookies & Cream: Fold in crushed Oreos after churning.
• Caramel: Swirl in homemade caramel sauce before freezing.
