I make many different ice cream flavors and recipes, but as far as vanilla goes it’s this velvety, old fashioned custard type ice cream or my two ingredient No Churn Vanilla. How to Make this Vanilla Ice CreamTo make this ice cream, you will need these ingredients:
Make the Ice Cream CustardStart by adding the egg yolks and sugar to a medium saucepan. Whisk the until it’s a light yellow color and is well combined. In another small sauce pan, heat the whole milk over medium-low heat until it just begins to simmer. Do not stir the milk. Then gradually add the heated milk to the pan with the egg and sugar mixture and stir constantly. Return the combined mixture to heat until it reaches 165º F, but do not allow it to come to a boil. As soon as it reaches the correct temperature, remove it from the heat. Pour custard base into an airtight container and store in the refrigerator until it chills to 65º F. The longer the custard base chills, the creamier your ice cream will be. Finish With Ice Cream MakerOnce the custard base is ready, stir in the heavy cream and vanilla bean paste (or vanilla extract). Then, pour it into your ice cream maker and process according to your ice cream maker’s instructions. Scoop and Enjoy!This is perfect for ice cream cones! Although I happily enjoy it in a bowl if cones aren’t around. The scoops hold up well and don’t immediately begin melting the moment they are scooped onto the cone.

Is it OK to use raw eggs in ice cream?If your favorite ice cream recipes use uncooked eggs, it's time replace or revise them. Those raw eggs may contain salmonella bacteria that can cause foodborne illness. Freezing doesn't kill bacteria but cooking does.
Is Homemade ice cream better with or without eggs?Egg yolks add flavor, stability, and texture to ice cream
According to Serious Eats, egg yolks are full of fat and protein, both of which help thicken ice cream in their own way.
Can you make ice cream with whole eggs?Most preferred the whole egg version, so it's certainly possible (and much easier) to use this method. In terms of difference, the custard style ice cream is a little "chewier", which some people prefer and some don't, and it does taste a little richer.
