Prep Time: 90 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Makes: 1-1/2 to 2 quarts

What You Need

CUSTARD BASE:
6
EGGS
3/4
cup sugar
2 to 3
Tbsp. honey
1/4
tsp. salt
2
cups milk
ICE CREAM:
2
cups whipping cream
1
Tbsp. vanilla
Crushed ice
Rock salt

Here’s How

  1. CUSTARD BASE: BEAT eggs, sugar, honey and salt in medium heavy saucepan until blended; stir in milk. COOK over low heat, stirring constantly, until mixture is just thick enough to coat a metal spoon with a thin film and temperature reaches 160°F, about 15 minutes. Do not allow to boil. REMOVE from heat immediately.
  2. COOL quickly: Set pan in larger pan of ice water; stir occasionally and gently for a few minutes to hasten cooling. PRESS piece of plastic wrap onto surface of custard. Refrigerate until thoroughly chilled, at least 1 hour.
  3. ICE CREAM: POUR chilled custard, whipping cream and vanilla into 1-gallon ice cream freezer can. FREEZE according to manufacturer's directions, using 6 parts crushed ice to 1 part rock salt. TRANSFER to freezer containers, allowing head space for expansion; freeze until firm.

Enjoy

  • Serve with cut-up fresh fruit or with your favorite ice cream topping. Use as a filling for Cream Puffs.
  • This basic custard can be varied with flavorings and stir-ins of your choice. For stir-ins, use pureed fruit, mini chips and other small pieces.
