Serves:
Ingredients
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup whole milk
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 4 large egg yolks
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup pecans, chopped and toasted
Instructions
-
In a medium saucepan, heat the heavy cream and whole milk over medium heat until it begins to steam. Do not let it boil.
-
In a separate bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, salt, and egg yolks until well combined.
-
Slowly pour the hot cream mixture into the egg mixture, whisking constantly to prevent curdling.
-
Pour the mixture back into the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens and coats the back of a spoon.
-
Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
-
Transfer the mixture to a bowl and let it cool to room temperature. Then cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
-
Once chilled, pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
-
During the last few minutes of churning, add in the toasted pecans.
-
Transfer the churned ice cream to a container and freeze for at least 2 hours to firm up before serving.
