Classic Vanilla Bean Ice Cream

Classic Vanilla Bean Ice Cream

Nothing beats the rich, fragrant flavor of homemade vanilla bean ice cream—it’s pure nostalgia in every creamy spoonful.

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 vanilla bean, split and seeds scraped (or 1 tbsp pure vanilla extract)
  • 1/8 tsp fine sea salt
  • 6 large egg yolks

Instructions:

  1. In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine heavy cream, whole milk, 1/2 cup of the sugar, vanilla bean seeds (or extract), and 1/8 tsp salt. Warm until just steaming (about 5 minutes), stirring occasionally—do not boil.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk egg yolks and remaining 1/4 cup sugar until pale and slightly thickened. Slowly pour 1/2 cup of the warm cream mixture into the yolks, whisking constantly to temper.
  3. Pour the yolk mixture back into the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly with a spatula, until the custard thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon (about 5–7 minutes; do not exceed 175°F).
  4. Strain the custard through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean bowl. Cool to room temperature, then cover and chill for at least 4 hours (or overnight).
  5. Churn in an ice cream maker according to manufacturer’s instructions (about 20–25 minutes), then transfer to a freezer-safe container and freeze for 4 hours before serving.

The flecks of real vanilla bean add a luxurious depth to this silky-smooth ice cream—no store-bought version compares!

Tip: For extra richness, swap 1/2 cup of the heavy cream for full-fat coconut milk.

Rich Chocolate Fudge Ice Cream

This decadent ice cream is a chocolate lover’s dream—velvety, fudgy, and impossibly creamy with just the right amount of sweetness.

  • 1/4 cup light corn syrup

  3. Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions (about 20–25 minutes).
  4. In the last 2 minutes of churning, add the chopped chocolate (or fudge swirl) and let it mix in evenly.
