Vanilla Frozen Custard
4 egg yolks
1/4 cup sugar
2 tablespoons light corn syrup
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup whole milk
1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Fresh Strawberry Sauce
4 large strawberries
2 tsp sugar
2 tbsp water
Step 1
In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, whisk together egg yolks, sugar, and corn syrup until well combined. Whisk in cream and milk until yolk mixture is fully incorporated.
Step 2
Place pot over medium-low heat and cook, whisking frequently, until a custard forms on a spoon and a finger swiped across the back leaves a clean line, or until custard temperature reaches 170°F. This takes anywhere from 6-10 minutes, do not let the custard boil! Stir in salt and vanilla.
Step 3
Strain custard through a fine mesh strainer and chill in either ice bath or refrigerator until it is very cold, about 40°F. Let this chill overnight for the best results.
Step 4
Churn in ice cream maker according to manufacturer’s instructions, then serve right away or transfer to an airtight container and chill in the freezer for 1 hour to let the custard firm up slightly.
Step 5
To make strawberry sauce, combine strawberries, sugar and water. Bring to a simmer and let it cook for 5-10 minutes until strawberries are softened and sauce has thickened. Let it cool and then drizzle on top of the frozen custard.
