Time 1h40m

Yield Makes 5 1/2 cups, enough for a 7-cup bombe mold

Number Of Ingredients 5

3 cups whole milk
1 cup heavy cream
3 vanilla beans, split and scraped
1 cup sugar, divided
9 large egg yolks

Steps:

  • Combine milk, cream, vanilla, and 1/2 cup sugar in a medium saucepan. Bring mixture to a simmer, stirring. Whisk together egg yolks and remaining 1/2 cup sugar. Gradually whisk hot milk mixture into egg mixture.
  • Pour mixture into pan, and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 4 minutes. Pour custard through a fine sieve into a bowl that has been set in a larger bowl of ice water. Let cool 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Refrigerate custard until cold, about 1 hour.
  • Freeze in an ice cream maker according to manufacturer's directions, then transfer directly to bombe mold.
