Vanilla Ice Cream

Well, That wasn't so bad.
I chose Vanilla because I was intimidated by the custard. It turns out it was MUCH easier than I thought it would be!

We sat down and ate some last night while watching Leverage. It was fantastic! I loved the texture right out of the machine too. It was so smooth and creamy. And so rich that we couldn't eat as much as we're used to eating from a store bought brand!

Vanilla Ice Cream Recipe
3 egg yolks
1/2 cup sugar
1 cup milk
1/4 tsp salt

2 cups Heavy Cream
1 tbsp Vanilla Extract

Chill a bowl. Combine first four ingredients in a 2qt pot. Heat over medium heat until just before it boils, stirring constantly. Pour into chilled bowl and stir until it cools a little. Put in the fridge to chill for a couple hours - stir whenever you think about it. This is the custard.
Set up your ice cream maker. Combine the cream and vanilla with your custard and pour into the ice cream maker. Freeze as per directions for your machine.
Pack into storage container and freeze for a couple hours before scooping.
