How to Make Vanilla Soy Ice Cream

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together 4 large egg yolks, 1 cup granulated sugar, and 1/4 cup cornstarch until pale and slightly thickened.
  2. In a separate saucepan, heat 4 cups soy milk over medium heat until steaming (do not boil).
  3. Slowly pour the hot soy milk into the egg yolk mixture, whisking constantly to prevent curdling.
  4. Stir in 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract.
  5. Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until the custard thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon (about 5-7 minutes). Do not boil.
  6. Strain the custard through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl. This removes any lumps and ensures a smooth texture.
  7. Cover the custard and chill in the refrigerator for at least 3-4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow it to fully chill.
  8. Pour the chilled custard into your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions.
  9. Once churned, transfer the ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for at least 2-3 hours to harden further before serving.
