Ingredients

Instructions

  1. 1 Gather the ingredients.
  2. 2 Mix milk and cream in a medium saucepan. Warm until foam forms around the edges. Remove from heat.
  3. 3 Beat egg yolks and sugar until frothy in a large bowl. Gradually pour warm milk into egg yolks and sugar, whisking constantly. Return mixture to saucepan; cook over medium heat, stirring with a wooden spoon until the mixture gels slightly and coats the back of the spoon. If small egg lumps begin to show, remove from heat immediately.
  4. 4 Pour the mixture through a sieve or fine strainer into a bowl. Cover, and chill for 2 hours to overnight.
  5. 5 Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker, and freeze according to the manufacturer's instructions. Transfer to a sealed container, and freeze until firm, at least 2 hours.
