Lunch: Homemade Vanilla Bean Ice Cream Recipe | MyRecipes

Recipe by Julia Dowling Rutland Yummy Homemade Vanilla Bean Ice Cream has flecks of real vanilla, thanks to the use of vanilla bean.

Ingredients

2 cups heavy whipping cream
2 cups whole milk
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup sugar, divided
1 vanilla bean, split lengthwise
6 large egg yolks, well beaten

Instructions

Combine first 3 ingredients and 3/4 cup sugar in a large heavy saucepan over medium heat. Scrape vanilla bean seeds into mixture; add bean pod. Cook, stirring constantly, 7 minutes or until sugar dissolves. (Do not boil.) Remove from heat, and let stand 15 minutes.
Whisk egg yolks and remaining 1/4 cup sugar in a medium bowl. Gradually whisk in 1 cup warm cream mixture. Add egg mixture back to remaining cream mixture. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, 11 minutes or until mixture thickens and coats a spoon, and thermometer registers 160 °. Pour mixture through a wire-mesh strainer into a metal bowl, discarding vanilla pod.
Fill a large bowl with ice. Place bowl containing cream mixture in ice, and let stand, stirring occasionally, 20 minutes. Cover and chill 4 hours.
Pour mixture into freezer container of an electric ice-cream maker, and freeze according to manufacturer's instructions. (Instructions and times may vary.) Transfer to a container; cover and freeze until firm.
