How to make frozen custerd

Here’s how you can make creamy frozen custard at home 🍦

🧁 Ingredients:

2 cups heavy cream

1 cup whole milk

¾ cup sugar

5 large egg yolks

2 tsp vanilla extract

Pinch of salt

👩‍🍳 Instructions:

1. Heat the base:

In a saucepan, combine cream, milk, half the sugar, and salt.

Heat on medium until it’s hot but not boiling.

2. Whisk egg yolks:

In a separate bowl, whisk egg yolks and the remaining sugar until pale and smooth.

3. Temper the eggs:

Slowly pour some of the hot milk mixture into the yolks while whisking.

Then pour the yolk mixture back into the saucepan.

4. Cook the custard:

Stir constantly on low heat until the mixture thickens slightly and coats the back of a spoon (about 170–175°F / 77–80°C).

Don’t boil—it will curdle.

5. Strain and cool:

Strain the custard through a fine sieve into a clean bowl.

Stir in vanilla extract.

Cool to room temperature, then chill in the fridge for at least 4 hours (or overnight).

6. Churn:

Pour the chilled custard into an ice cream maker and churn until thick and creamy (about 20–25 minutes).

7. Freeze:

Transfer to an airtight container and freeze for 2–4 hours for a firm texture.

🍨 Tips:

Use fresh egg yolks for best flavor.

For extra creaminess, use more cream than milk.

Add mix-ins (like chocolate chips or caramel swirls) at the end of churning.
