4 Ingredients Vanilla Ice Cream

Kankana Saxena
When you say Vanilla Ice Cream, you definitely want the vanilla flavor to shout out. So, make sure you have the best brand, either essence or vanilla beans. I used vanilla beans, as you can clearly see in the pictures. Using vanilla beans will definitely give the best flavor as compared to essence.

Ingredients
 

  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • ½ cup white granulated sugar
  • 1 vanilla bean pod
  • 3 egg yolks

Instructions
 

  • Whisk the egg yolks in a mixing bowl.
  • Slit the vanilla pod in half and scrape the beans off into a pan along with the cream and sugar. Drop the pod in the pan too. 
  • Place the pan at medium heat. Keep stirring until it’s warm and the sugar is dissolved. Take the pan off the heat once done.  
  • Pour ⅓ cup of the warm cream to the egg yolk and whisk as your pour. Once it’s mixed, pour it back into the warm cream. 
  • Place the pan back at medium heat and simmer for 3 minutes, while whisking constantly.
  • Strain the mixture and let it cool completely in the refrigerator before you churn it using the ice cream machine. 
  • If you are not using ice cream machine, pour the custard in a mixing bowl and put it in the freezer. Take it out after every 2 hours and whisk. If you are using a stand mixer or an electric whisker, it will make the task easy. You have to repeat the process few times until the consistency looks creamy and it is set.
