Creamy Vanilla Happiness Recipe:

Ingredients:

• 2 cups of whole milk
• 1 cup of heavy cream
• 1/2 cup of granulated sugar
• 4 large egg yolks
• 2 teaspoons of pure vanilla extract
• Pinch of salt

Instructions:

1. In a medium saucepan, combine the whole milk and heavy cream. Heat the mixture over medium heat until it’s just about to simmer. Remove it from the heat.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and granulated sugar until it’s pale and slightly thickened.
3. Slowly pour the warm milk and cream mixture into the egg yolks while whisking continuously to prevent curdling.
4. Once combined, return the mixture to the saucepan and place it back on the stove over medium heat. Cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and coats the back of a spoon. This usually takes about 5-7 minutes. Do not let it boil.
5. Once thickened, remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt.
6. Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean bowl to remove any lumps.
7. Let the mixture cool to room temperature, then cover it and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until chilled.
8. Once chilled, transfer the mixture to an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
9. Transfer the churned ice cream to a freezer-safe container and freeze for an additional 2-4 hours, or until it’s firm enough to scoop.
10. Serve your creamy vanilla happiness in bowls or cones, and enjoy the simple pleasure of homemade ice cream!
