  • nutella
    ½ c
  • vanilla extract
    ½ tsp

Directions

  1. 1

    Whisk together milk, cream, and 1/4 cup of sugar in a saucepan. Heat over medium heat until the sugar dissolves, about 5 minutes.

  2. 2

    While the milk mixture is heating, beat egg yolks and the remaining 1/4 cup of sugar on high with an electric mixer until the eggs are thick and pale yellow, about 4 minutes. Pour 1/2 cup of the warm milk/cream mixture into the egg mixture to temper the eggs, and stir to combine the ingredients. (See Tip 3)

  3. 3

    Add the tempered egg mixture back into the saucepan. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture is thick enough to coat the back of a wooden spoon for about 10 minutes. (See Tip 4)

  4. 4

    Pour custard mixture through a wire strainer set over a large measuring cup. (See Tip 5)

  5. 5

    Add Nutella and vanilla extract; whisk until Nutella dissolves. Chill the mixture to between 36° F and 40° F. Pour the chilled mixture into an ice cream maker; follow the manufacturer's instructions to freeze. (See Tip 6)
