How to Make Grandma Margaret's Homemade Ice Cream
- In a large bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, whole milk, sugar, and vanilla extract until the sugar is fully dissolved.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and cornstarch until smooth.
- Slowly temper the egg yolk mixture into the cream mixture, whisking constantly to prevent curdling.
- Pour the mixture into a saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon (about 5-7 minutes). Do not boil.
- Remove from heat and stir in your choice of flavorings (chocolate, fruit, etc.).
- Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl, pressing on the solids to extract as much liquid as possible. This ensures a super-smooth ice cream.
- Let the mixture cool completely in the refrigerator (at least 2-3 hours) before churning.
- Once cooled, churn the mixture in your ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions. This usually takes 20-30 minutes.
- Transfer the churned ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for at least 2-3 hours to allow it to harden further.
