2 cups heavy whipping cream
6 egg yolks
1/2 cup sugar
1 Tbsp vanilla extract
Combine milk and cream in a saucepan over medium heat. Heat until bubbles form around the edges. In a medium bowl whisk egg yolks and sugar, stir until smooth and well combined. Slowly add the cream mixture to the egg mixture whisking constantly.
Pour the mixture back into the saucepan, cook over medium heat 5-8 minutes, stirring constantly until the mixture is thickened and coats the back of a spoon. (175 degrees) Pour through sieve into bowl, stir in the vanilla extract. Cover with plastic wrap and chill in the fridge until completely chilled.
Once it's chilled, pour into the ice cream maker and run until softly frozen. Pour half into freezer safe container, fold in toppings of choice (oreos, cookie dough, etc...). Pour remaining ice cream into the container and fold again. Freeze.
This makes enough for 1 or 2 families. When I made it for the party, I doubled this recipe.
ENJOY!
