Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl whisk eggs well with 1/4 cup sugar.
  2. In a medium saucepan add the rest of the sugar, heavy cream, whole milk, vanilla bean paste, and salt on medium heat.
  3. Whisk non-stop and bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low.
  4. Add 1/2 cup vanilla bean mixture in a very slow thin stream to the egg yolks while whisking quickly (do not stop whisking).
  5. Pour the egg/custard mixture back into the pot slowly while whisking constantly.
  6. Cook until mixture is thickened, about 8-10 minutes (do not let boil or milk will taste scalded).
  7. Turn off heat and pour into a metal bowl or other heat proof bowl.
  8. Let cool completely, then refrigerate (covered) for 2 hours.
  9. Add custard to your ice cream maker (per machine instructions) then freeze for at least 3 hours to harden before serving.
