Vanilla Frozen Custard Recipe (Shake Shack)
Description
The recipe starts by warming cream and milk until just simmering. Egg yolks, sugar, and salt are whisked until pale, then tempered with the hot milk mixture to prevent curdling. The combined base is cooked gently until thickened to coat the back of a spoon, then strained to remove lumps and flavored with pure vanilla extract.
Once cooled and chilled thoroughly, the custard base is ready for churning to develop a smooth texture. The resulting frozen custard balances rich creaminess with vanilla flavor, offering a dense yet silky dessert.

- 1 cup (8floz/240ml) milk whole
