Ice Cream

Modified from https://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1016605-the-only-ice-cream-recipe-youll-ever-need

    Ingredients

    • 2 cups heavy cream
    • 1 cup whole milk
    • 2/3 cup sugar
    • 1/8 teaspoon fine sea salt
    • 3 eggs (or 6 yolks)

    Instructions

    1. In a small pot, simmer heavy cream, milk, sugar and salt until sugar completely dissolves, about 5 minutes. Remove pot from heat. In a separate bowl, whisk yolks. Whisking constantly, slowly whisk about a third of the hot cream into the yolks, then whisk the yolk mixture back into the pot with the cream. Return pot to medium-low heat and gently cook until mixture is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon (about 170 degrees on an instant-read thermometer).
    2. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl. Cool mixture to room temperature. Cover and chill at least 4 hours or overnight. Churn in an ice cream machine according to manufacturers’ instructions. Serve directly from the machine for soft serve, or store in freezer until needed.
