Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Heavy cream
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 6 oz White chocolate (chopped)
- 0.3333 cup Granulated sugar
- 4 Egg yolks
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream and whole milk. Heat over medium heat until the mixture is just about to boil (small bubbles should form around the edges). Do not let it boil.
Remove the saucepan from heat and add the chopped white chocolate. Stir until the chocolate is fully melted and the mixture is smooth. Set aside.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar and egg yolks until the mixture is pale and slightly thickened.
Gradually pour the warm cream and white chocolate mixture into the egg yolk mixture, whisking constantly to prevent the eggs from curdling.
Pour the combined mixture back into the saucepan and return it to medium-low heat. Cook, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of the spoon (approximately 170-175°F).
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean bowl. This step removes any cooked egg bits and ensures a silky texture.
Let the mixture cool to room temperature, then cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to chill completely.
Once the mixture is thoroughly chilled, churn it in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Transfer the churned ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for at least 2-4 hours to allow it to firm up before serving.
