Homemade Ice Cream from Scratch
Ingredients
- 4 eggs
- 2/3 cups sugar
- 2 cups whipping cream whipped
- 1 tablespoon vanilla paste/pure extract
Instructions
- Pour whipping cream into the bowl of a standing mixer, and beat until stiff peaks form. Cover cream and place in fridge.
- Place sugar and eggs into a medium bowl and begin to whisk to combine.
- Place bowl over a pot of simmering water on medium-low heat. Ensure the bowl does not touch the bottom of the pot – bain marie method.
- Carefully whisk the mixture continuously, until mixture is pale in colour and double in volume – 15-18 minutes. It is important to mix constantly to ensure eggs do not cook.
- Pour custard into the bowl of a standing mixer (can be poured through sieve), and with a whisk attachment, and beat on high for 7-12 minutes or until custard has cooled to room temperature - the bowl should be cool to the touch. Add vanilla and mix to combine.
- Add prepared whipped cream a third at a time, and on the lowest setting, mix to incorporate into custard.
- Pour ice cream into a container and place a piece of plastic wrap directly on the surface of the ice cream. Cover with lid and place into the freezer. Freeze for at least 6-8 hours, preferably over night.

I tried it and was satisfied with result, though it didn’t come out as soft as in the article.
I have a question: Could I substitute the vanilla with chocolate and if so, is there a chocolate extract and if not, what formof chocolate can I use.
Thank you,
To make this into a chocolate ice cream, increase the sugar to 1 1/4 cup and add 1/3 cup cocoa powder to your whipping cream, prior to whipping it. I hope that answers your question. Thank you!
Thank you very much Ms. Chika I’ll definitely try your suggestion and will let you know the outcome.
I presume I don’t put any vanilla extract for the chocolate ice-cream, right ?
Hi Enrique,
Yes you can still add a teaspoon of vanilla extract. Thanks for your questions 😀
I made this ice cream few times now and I can’t rave about it enough! It’s is sooo good! I struggled with the ‘custard’ first two times but since then I’ve done the vanilla and chocolate one few times and omg – it’s just delicious! Thank you so much for this recipe!
