One of the best delights in life comes from sharing a tub of ice cream with a partner in front of the tv.
So here is a post on how to make a simple Buttermilk Vanilla Ice Cream for those with a sweet-tooth.Buttermilk Vanilla Ice Cream
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 1/4 cup sugar
- 12 large egg yolks *You can use less eggs to have ice cream which is less creamy.
- 2 cups buttermilk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla or half a vanilla bean, scraped and simmered with the cream
- Pinch of salt
In a large, heavy saucepan, combine the heavy cream and one cup of sugar and bring to a simmer over medium heat.
In a large bowl, whisk egg yolks and remaining 1/4 cup of sugar.
Remove the cream mixture from the heat and drizzle a small amount into the yolks, slowly, and whisking constantly to keep the eggs from curdling. Do this a few more times to warm up the yolks before pouring the yolk mixture back into the cream, whisking constantly.
Cook over low heat until the mixture is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.
Whisk in the buttermilk, vanilla, and salt. Cool completely and freeze according manufacturer’s directions.
Enjoy!
