How to Make Country Style Vanilla Ice Cream

  1. In a medium saucepan, heat milk and ¾ cup of the sugar over medium heat until the sugar is dissolved.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, remaining ¾ cup sugar, and salt until light and frothy.
  3. Slowly whisk about 1 cup of the warm milk mixture into the egg mixture to temper the eggs.
  4. Gradually whisk the tempered egg mixture into the remaining milk mixture.
  5. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon (about 170-180°F or 77-82°C). Do not boil.
  6. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
  7. Strain the custard through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl.
  8. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface of the custard to prevent a skin from forming.
  9. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  10. Once chilled, stir in the heavy cream.
  11. Churn in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions.
  12. Transfer the ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for at least 2-3 hours to harden further before serving.
  13. Enjoy your incredibly creamy and flavorful homemade vanilla ice cream!
