Ingredients
- 250 ml heavy whipping cream
- 4 egg yolks
- 90 g granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon vanilla bean paste optional
- ½ fresh nutmeg grated or use ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 500 ml whole milk
Instructions
- Pour the cold heavy cream into a large bowl or jar. Set aside.
- Separate 4 egg yolks from the egg whites and place the egg yolks into a bowl. (Refrigerate or freeze the egg whites for later use).
- Whisk together the egg yolks with sugar, vanilla extract, vanilla bean paste (if using), grated nutmeg, ground cinnamon, pinch of salt and set aside.
- Add the milk to a medium saucepan or pot and simmer over low heat until scalding hot.
- While whisking the egg mixture, gradually pour in the warmed milk (known as tempering the eggs).
- Pour the mixture back into the saucepan and cook over low-medium heat, until the custard thickens. When you can draw a line on the back of a spatula or wooden spoon, the ice cream mixture is ready.
- Pour the ice cream mixture through a sieve/strainer into the cold heavy cream.
- Give the mixture a stir and cover with a lid/plastic wrap.
- Place into the refrigerator to chill for at least 6-8 hours, or overnight.
- The next day, churn ice cream according to your ice cream manufacturer's instructions.
- Transfer the churned ice cream to an airtight container and place into the freezer.
- Freeze the ice cream for at least 6-8 hours, or until firm.
