Ingredients

Instructions

  • Chill the canister of an ice cream maker in the freezer overnight.
  • Place the yolks, sugar, and salt in a medium bowl and whisk until pale and thick.
  • Place the milk in a small pot and heat on the stove until small bubbles appear around the edges and wisps of steam are rising from the surface.
  • Pour the hot milk into the yolk mixture, a little at a time, while whisking.
  • When all of the hot milk has been incorporated, transfer the custard back to the pot and heat over medium-low, whisking, until hot and slightly thickened.
  • Strain into a heat safe bowl, stir in the cream and vanilla, and chill overnight.
  • Churn the ice cream for about 15-25 minutes, or until it resembles soft-serve ice cream.
  • Transfer to a loaf pan and freeze until hard.
