Vanilla ice cream Ingredients:

2 cups heavy cream
1 cup whole milk
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
4 large egg yolks

Vanilla ice cream Instructions:

In a saucepan, heat the heavy cream, whole milk, and half of the sugar over medium heat until it begins to steam. Do not let it boil.
In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and the remaining sugar until the mixture becomes pale and thick.
Slowly pour the hot milk mixture into the egg yolk mixture, whisking constantly to prevent the eggs from curdling.
Pour the combined mixture back into the saucepan and place it over medium heat. Stir continuously with a wooden spoon until the mixture thickens and coats the back of the spoon. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any lumps or cooked egg bits.
Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature, then cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Once chilled, pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Transfer the churned ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for at least 4 hours or until firm.
Serve the homemade vanilla ice cream in bowls or cones, and enjoy!

Note:
If you don’t have an ice cream maker, you can pour the mixture into a shallow dish, cover it, and place it in the freezer. Every 30 minutes, remove the dish from the freezer and vigorously stir the mixture with a fork to break up any ice crystals. Repeat this process for about 3-4 hours until the ice cream reaches the desired consistency.

What are the calories of vanilla ice cream?

The calorie content of vanilla ice cream can vary depending on the specific recipe and the brand or type of ice cream. However, I can provide you with a general estimate of the calorie content in a typical serving of vanilla ice cream.

On average, a 1/2 cup (approximately 105 grams) serving of vanilla ice cream contains around 150-200 calories. It’s important to note that these values can vary based on factors such as the specific ingredients used, the fat content (e.g., regular vs. low-fat), and any additional mix-ins or toppings added to the ice cream.

If you have a specific brand or recipe in mind, it’s always a good idea to refer to the product packaging or use a recipe calculator to determine the precise calorie content.
