How to Make Classic Vanilla Ice Cream
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, whole milk, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until the sugar is completely dissolved.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks until pale and slightly thickened.
- Slowly temper the egg yolks by whisking in a small amount of the warm cream mixture. Once combined, pour the tempered yolks back into the remaining cream mixture.
- Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean bowl to remove any lumps.
- Pour the mixture into your ice cream maker and churn 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 2-4 hours to allow it to harden further.
