Vanilla Frozen Custard
Description
This frozen custard begins by warming cream, milk, sugar, and a pinch of salt until the sugar dissolves. Tempered egg yolks are slowly combined with the warm mixture, then gently cooked until thickened. After straining, vanilla extract is added, and the custard base is cooled thoroughly in the refrigerator.
The chilled custard is churned using an ice cream maker to produce a soft serve texture, or firmly frozen later for a denser frozen custard. This process ensures a velvet-smooth consistency and rich vanilla taste thanks to the egg yolks and cream.
The custard is portioned into servings of about half a cup, though the total recipe yields approximately three cups. Nutritional information will vary depending on specific dairy brands used.
