What you need

Ingredients

  • 3 cups Unsweetened Almond Milk
  • 3/4 cup Sugar
  • 1 Vanilla Bean, split and scraped
  • 4 large Egg Yolks
  • 2 tbsp Cornstarch
  • Pinch of Salt

Method

Instructions

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