Ingredients
To make this delicious Vanilla Cream, you will need the following ingredients:
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup whole milk
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 4 large egg yolks
Instructions
Follow these simple steps to create your Vanilla Cream:
- In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, and sugar. Stir gently until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is heated through, but do not let it boil.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and salt until well blended.
- Gradually pour the hot cream mixture into the egg yolks, whisking constantly to temper the yolks. This step is crucial to avoid scrambling the eggs.
- Once combined, return the mixture to the saucepan over low heat. Stir continuously until the mixture thickens slightly and coats the back of a spoon, about 5-7 minutes.
- Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature.
- Once cooled, transfer the mixture to an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
- Transfer the Vanilla Cream to a lidded container and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until firm.
Enjoy your homemade Vanilla Cream on its own or paired with fresh fruits, cakes, or brownies for an extra special treat. Your friends and family will love the rich, creamy texture and delightful vanilla flavor!
