Soft and Rich Vanilla Frozen Custard Recipe

Directions

In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, whisk together egg yolks, sugar, and corn syrup until well combined. Whisk in cream and milk until yolk mixture is fully incorporated. Place pot over medium-low heat and cook, whisking frequently, until a custard forms on a spoon and a finger swiped across the back leaves a clean line, or until custard temperature reaches 170 degrees F. Stir in salt and vanilla. Strain custard through a fine mesh strainer and chill in either ice bath or refrigerator until it is very cold, about 40 degrees F. Churn in ice cream maker according to manufacturer's instructions, then serve right away or transfer to an airtight container and chill in freezer for 1 hour to let custard firm up slightly. Serve custard within two hours of it being made.

To make concrete-style drinks, finely chop up ingredients like M&M's, heath bars, cookies, or pretzels and store in freezer, then add to ice cream machine during last two minutes of churning. Serve right away in a glass or cup with a straw and a long spoon.
