    🥛Notes on ingredients

    You can find a full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below. Here are a few ingredient notes to make this delicious ice cream.

    • Milk - I recommend whole milk, as it's important not to use semi-skimmed.
    • Eggs - ideally pasture-raised organic. You can refer to the Eco Tips I've written on eggs to help you choose the right ones.

    • Oreos

    ✨How to make this delicious vanilla ice cream?

    Recipe details and quantities are in the recipe card below.

    • In a bowl, use your electric stand mixer to beat the egg yolks and sugar until the mixture whitens (this may take 2-3 minutes).

    • Meanwhile, bring your milk and cream to the boil with the split vanilla bean and seeds.
    • As soon as it boils, turn off the heat.

    • Let the vanilla mixture cool, remove the bean and then pour the mixture into the beaten eggs in 5-6 batches - this is very important, otherwise your eggs will cook.

    • Return the mixture to the pan over low heat and stir with a spatula until the mixture thickens well. It may take a little while - it's good when it coats the back of a spoon.

    👩🏻‍🍳Chef's tips

    1. Be sure to use the recommended ingredients - the fat content (whole milk + whole cream + egg yolks) stabilizes the ice cream. Don't change the ingredients!
    2. When adding the milk to the egg yolks/sugar - do so in several batches. This will temper the eggs - if you add too much at once, they may cook and your ice cream will be a failure.
    3. Don't skip the resting time in the fridge - a well-chilled mixture freezes better, and prevents ice crystals from forming.
    4. Make sure your freezer is at the right temperature, around -0,4°F/-18°C. If it's warmer, the mixture will take longer to freeze, which could lead to the formation of ice crystals in your ice cream.
    5. Stir well every hour to prevent ice crystals from forming.
    6. For easy serving, dip your ice-cream scoop into boiling water - it's so much easier!

    ❄️Storage

    As there are no preservatives or additives, I recommend storing it for a maximum of 1 to 2 weeks in your freezer in an airtight container (crucial to prevent ice crystals from forming).

    If you make this vanilla ice cream, it would be so nice to leave me a comment and rate the recipe ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. You can also tag me on Instagram, Pinterest, Facebook or Tik Tok, or even send me a photo, I love seeing my little dishes in your homes!
