How to Make The Realtor's Blue Moon Ice Cream

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, milk, sugar, and vanilla extract until the sugar is fully dissolved.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks until pale and slightly thickened.
  3. Gradually whisk a small amount of the cream mixture into the egg yolks to temper them, then pour the tempered yolks into the remaining cream mixture.
  4. Cook the mixture over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon (about 5-7 minutes). Do not boil.
  5. Remove from heat and stir in the food coloring until you reach a vibrant smurf-blue hue (approximately 40 drops).
  6. Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any lumps or cooked egg.
  7. Cover the mixture with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface to prevent a skin from forming.
  8. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the custard to fully chill.
  9. Churn the chilled custard in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions.
  10. Once churned, transfer the ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for at least 2-3 hours to harden further.
