This ice cream is a classic and scrumptious use for milk and whipping cream. It is the most wonderful custard I've ever tasted, and my family and guests have loved it for years.Margaret Gage, Roseboom, New York Ingredients:
2 cups whole milk |
3/4 cup sugar |
1/8 teaspoon salt |
2 eggs, lightly beaten |
2 cups heavy whipping cream |
2 tablespoons vanilla extract |
colored sprinkles, optional |
Directions:
1. In a large saucepan, heat milk to 175°; stir in sugar and salt until dissolved. Whisk a small amount of hot mixture into the eggs. Return all to the pan, whisking constantly. Cook and stir over low heat until mixture reaches at least 160° and coats the back of a metal spoon.
2. Remove from the heat. Cool quickly by placing pan in a bowl of ice water; stir for 2 minutes. Stir in whipping cream and vanilla. Press waxed paper onto surface of custard. Refrigerate for several hours or overnight.
