How To Make Ice Cream (Vanila Ice Cream)

Ingredients
2/3 cup sugar
1,5 cups heavy cream
4 large egg yolks
1 vanilla bean (split and scraped of seeds), or 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1,5 cups whole milk
Utensils
Spatula
Medium saucepan
Whisk
Instant-read thermometer
Measuring cups and spoons
Mixing bowl
Ice cream machine
Strainer
Steps
1. Chill the ice cream bowl, if needed: If your ice cream machine has a bowl
that needs to be frozen before churning, put it in the freezer the night before
you plan to make ice cream.
2. Prepare an ice bath: Fill a large bowl with some water and ice cubes .
Place another, smaller bowl on top of the water, and place a strainer inside.
Keep this close by while you make the ice cream base.
3. Whisk the sugar and yolks until pale lemon-yellow colored: If you haven’t
already done so, separate the yolks from the eggs. Combine the sugar and
the yolks in a medium mixing bowl. Whisk until combined.
4. Warm the milk on the stovetop: Pour the milk into a medium saucepan
and place over medium heat. Add the vanilla bean (pod and seeds) or vanilla
extract. Bring the milk to a simmer, then remove from heat.
5. Temper the egg-sugar mixture with 1 cup of hot milk: Scoop out about 1
cup of hot milk (no need to be exact). Slowly pour it into the egg-sugar
mixture while whisking. This warms the eggs and prevents them from
curdling in the next step.
6. Pour the tempered egg-sugar mixture into the milk: Slowly pour the
tempered egg-sugar mixture into the saucepan with the remaining milk.
7. Cook the ice cream base until thickened: Return the saucepan to the stove
and place over low heat. Stir the mixture slowly, but constantly, scraping the
bottom and sides of the pot. Keep cooking until the base has thickened
enough to coat the back of the spatula and registers 170°F with an instant-
read thermometer.
8. Strain the ice cream base into the bowl of the ice water bath. Straining will
remove the vanilla pod and any bits of egg that may have accidentally
curdled.
9. Stir the heavy cream into the ice cream base.
10. Chill completely: Leave the ice cream base over the ice water bath,
stirring occasionally, until it’s completely chilled. This will take about twenty
minutes. Alternatively, cover the bowl with the base and chill in the fridge for
three hours or overnight.
11. Churn the ice cream base: Transfer the ice cream base to the bowl of
your ice cream machine. Churn until the base has thickened to a consistency
somewhere between a very thick milkshake and soft-serve ice cream. In
most ice cream makers, this takes about twenty minutes — check the
instructions for your particular machine.
12. Freeze the ice cream until solid: Transfer the thickened ice cream to a
freezer container. Press a piece of wax paper against the surface of the ice
cream to prevent ice crystals from forming and freeze until solid, at least
four hours. The ice cream will keep in the freezer for about two weeks before
becoming icy.
Notes : You can change vanilla with the other flavour like strawberry,
chocolate, coffee and the others.
