Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Heavy cream
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Tutti frutti (candied fruit pieces)
- 4 large Egg yolks
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, and half of the sugar. Heat this mixture over medium heat until it just begins to steam, but do not let it boil.
While the cream mixture is heating, whisk the egg yolks, the remaining sugar, and salt together in a medium bowl until the mixture is pale and slightly thickened.
Slowly pour about 1 cup of the hot cream mixture into the egg yolks while whisking continuously. This process tempers the eggs to prevent scrambling.
Pour the tempered egg mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining cream mixture. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of the spoon. This takes about 8-10 minutes.
Remove the custard from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean bowl to remove any curdled bits.
Allow the custard mixture to cool to room temperature, then cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight until it is thoroughly chilled.
Once chilled, pour the custard mixture into your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions, typically about 20-25 minutes.
In the final 5 minutes of churning, add the tutti frutti pieces and allow them to mix evenly into the ice cream.
Transfer the churned ice cream into an airtight container and freeze for 4-6 hours to allow it to firm up before serving.
