- Pinch of Salt
Method

- Heat the almond milk, half the sugar, and vanilla bean together until steaming.
- Whisk the egg yolks, remaining sugar, and cornstarch until pale and smooth.
- Slowly whisk in about a cup of the hot milk to temper, then return everything to the saucepan.
- Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until thickened enough to coat the back of a spoon, 5 to 7 minutes.
- Strain, chill thoroughly for at least 4 hours, then churn in an ice cream maker until thick and scoopable. Freeze until firm.
