The Perfect Vanilla Ice Cream – Homemade with an Ice Cream Maker: The Taste of Summer Every Day
There's a flavor that never goes out of style. It's delicate yet bold, sweet yet elegant, simple yet capable of evoking profound emotions. We're talking about vanilla ice cream , the discreet king of flavors, the foundation upon which the world of ice cream is built.
But forget the one at the supermarket or the local café. Today we're taking you behind the scenes of an authentic sensory experience: making creamy, velvety, and fragrant vanilla ice cream with your own hands... and our ice cream maker.
Why make ice cream at home?
Imagine being able to choose every single ingredient. Imagine dipping a spoon into a cold, silky cloud, without preservatives, without artificial flavors, with the intense aroma of real vanilla . Imagine the smiles of those who taste it for the first time.
It's not just an ice cream: it's a declaration of love for authentic flavor.
The ingredients of magic
For 6 servings (and hearts won), you need:
-
500 ml of fresh whole milk
-
200 ml of fresh liquid cream
-
150 g of sugar
-
1 vanilla pod (or 1 teaspoon pure extract)
-
4 very fresh egg yolks
-
(Bonus: a pinch of salt to enhance the flavor)
Preparation:
1. In a small saucepan, pour the milk, cream, and split vanilla pod. Bring almost to a boil, turn off the heat, and let steep for 15 minutes. The vanilla will work its magic.
2. In a bowl, whisk the egg yolks and sugar until light and fluffy. Add a pinch of salt. This is the basis of the creaminess, so don't underestimate it.
3. Gradually pour the hot (strained) milk over the egg yolks, stirring gently. Return the mixture to the heat, over low heat, and stir until slightly thickened (do not boil!). It's ready when it coats the surface of a spoon. Let it cool.
4. Pour the mixture into the TooA Family or TooA Family Pro ice cream maker. After 30-40 minutes, the miracle happens: ice cream is ready, creamy, fragrant, irresistible.

Serve it with a dusting of brown sugar, some fresh fruit or a crunchy biscuit.
