Ingredients

  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 6 egg yolks
  • 2/3 cup sugar
  • Pinch of salt
  • 2 tbsp custard powder
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Drop of almond extract

Instructions

  • Place egg yolks, sugar and salt in a bowl. Whisk until eggs are pale in color and silky, about 2-3 minutes.
  • Place milk and cream in a heavy bottom pot then place on stove over low heat. Heat milk just until bubbles start to form along the edges then remove from heat.
  • Slowly stream milk into egg mixture while whisking vigorously; whisk in about half of the milk. Mix about ½ cup milk with custard powder.
  • Combine egg mixture and custard mixture with remaining milk in the pot then cook on low heat for about 2-3 minutes. Do not allow to mixture to bowl.
  • Remove from heat and allow to cool before straining into a bowl. When custard has cooled completely, cover and place into the fridge to chill for at least 4 hours.
  • Place into ice cream maker and follow the instructions of the machine. Once ice cream has finished churning, place into a freezer safe bowl and freeze for at least 4 hours to harden. Enjoy!
