How to Make Easy Homemade Vanilla Ice Cream

Now, let's take the milk into a stainless steel pot. Add the vanilla and stir over medium heat. The delightful aromas are already starting!

When the milk starts to boil, remove it from the heat and let it rest for about 15 minutes. Patience is important here.

Strain the rested milk through a wire sieve into another container. This step is crucial for a smooth ice cream.

Take the egg yolks and granulated sugar into the pot. Whisk quickly with a hand mixer. Don't worry, it's very easy!

Gradually add the warm milk to the egg mixture while continuously stirring. This is important because we don't want the eggs to cook.

Place the pot into another container filled with water and cook over low heat, stirring constantly. Be careful not to boil!

Cook for 10-15 minutes until it reaches a creamy consistency. When the cream starts to stick to the spoon, we've succeeded!

Pour the cream into a separate container and let it cool. Stir occasionally to prevent a skin from forming.

Lightly whisk the heavy cream in a separate bowl and gradually add it to the cooled cream, mixing well.

Let the mixture freeze until solid. Whisking occasionally with a mixer will perfect the texture of the ice cream.
