How to Make Old Fashioned Homemade Vanilla Ice Cream
- In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 2 cups whole milk. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is just about to boil.
- Reduce heat to low.
- In a separate bowl, whisk 4 large eggs lightly. Gradually whisk in about 1/2 cup of the hot milk mixture into the eggs to temper them. This prevents the eggs from scrambling.
- Slowly pour the tempered egg mixture into the remaining hot milk mixture in the saucepan.
- Cook over low heat, stirring constantly with a spatula, until the mixture thickens slightly and coats the back of the spoon (about 5 minutes). Do not boil.
- Remove from heat and strain the custard through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl. This removes any lumps or cooked egg bits.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to completely chill.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups heavy whipping cream and 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract.
- Gently whisk the chilled custard into the whipped cream mixture until fully combined.
- Pour the mixture into your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions.
