This recipe will guide you through creating a rich and creamy vanilla ice cream reminiscent of the classic Haagen-Dazs flavor. This ice cream is made using high-quality ingredients, ensuring a velvety texture and a robust vanilla flavor.
In a medium saucepan, combine the milk, cream, and sugar. Heat over medium heat until the mixture is just simmering.
In a large bowl, whisk together the egg yolks until smooth. Gradually whisk in the hot milk mixture, whisking constantly until the mixture is smooth.
Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and coats the back of a spoon. This will take about 5 minutes.
Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the vanilla bean. Let the mixture cool completely.
Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and freeze according to the manufacturer's instructions. Once frozen, transfer to bowls to enjoy, or move to a freezer container and freeze an additional 4-6 hours.
