How to Make Ben And Jerry's Vanilla Ice Cream Recipe
- In a medium saucepan, whisk together the heavy cream, whole milk, sugar, and salt. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is just simmering.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs until light and frothy.
- Slowly temper the eggs by whisking in about 1/2 cup of the warm cream mixture. This prevents the eggs from scrambling.
- Pour the tempered egg mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining cream mixture.
- Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the custard thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon (about 170-180°F). Do not boil.
- Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
- Strain the custard through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl to remove any lumps or cooked egg bits.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap, pressing the plastic directly onto the surface of the custard to prevent a skin from forming.
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to thoroughly chill.
- Churn the chilled custard in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions. This usually takes about 20-30 minutes.
- Once churned, transfer the ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for at least 2-3 hours to harden further before serving.
