Ah vanilla ice cream, the most popular flavor of all. It has a high cream ratio and a lot of egg yolks, which makes it both thick and rich. Also, the high amount of vanilla with a pinch of salt makes this frozen custard exceptionally flavorful. Plus, vanilla ice cream is a very versatile flavor that can practically compliment any other dessert.

Here are the ingredients.

In a medium saucepan over medium high heat, mix the milk, half and half, and cream until warm.

Once the cream mixture is warm, whisk in half of it into the egg mixture until completely mixed, then return the egg mixture back to the saucepan and cook until it coats the back of the spoon.

Strain the base through a sieve into a medium sized bowl, so there are no bits of egg in the mixture.

Here it is in its soft serve form. It can eaten now, but you need to freeze it in an ice cream container for at least 4 hours if you want it hardened. Us personally, we eat it as soft serve, then freeze the remaining ice cream in a container. You can't really get soft serve ice cream at a grocery store.
