Instructions

  1. Combine the sugar and vanilla extract in the base of an ice cream machine.
  2. Add the heavy whipping cream, stir to combine, then set aside.
  3. Heat 2 cups of milk in a medium saucepan on the stove over low heat.
  4. Add the whisked eggs to the milk, once it's warm, but not hot enough to cook the eggs.
  5. Whisk the milk and eggs together.
  6. Continue to whisk the mixture over low heat for 2-3 minutes, making sure the mixture does not become too hot and cook the eggs.
  7. Add the mixture to the ice cream machine base.
  8. Add the remaining milk to the ice cream base. Most ice cream machines have a “fill line” inside the base. If yours does not, stick with my measurement, if it does, only fill the milk to that line.
  9. Stir everything together then place the base into the machine. Place the lid on the base of the machine.
  10. Surround the base with ice cubes and rock salt. Start with approximately 4 pounds ice cubes and 1/2 cup rock salt.
  11. Continue adding ice cubes and rock salt around the machine, as long as the ice cream machine is running.
  12. As soon as the machine stops churning, the ice cream is ready!

Notes

  • Be sure to place the machine inside a sink or outside on a patio where the ice can melt off.
  • This recipe makes approximately 18 cups of ice cream, which is equivalent to 36 standard 4 oz scoops of ice cream.
  • Leftover ice cream can be stored in the freezer for several months.
  • When serving leftover ice cream, remove it from the freezer and allow it to defrost on the counter at room temperature for at least 10-15 minutes before serving.
