✅ Ingredients:

• 2 cups heavy cream

• 4 egg yolks

• 2–3 tbsp butter (optional for richness)

🔪 Instructions:

1. Whisk egg yolks in a bowl until smooth.

2. Heat heavy cream (and butter if using) in a saucepan over medium heat until just starting to steam — don’t boil.

3. Temper the yolks: Slowly pour about 1/2 cup of the hot cream into the yolks while whisking constantly, then pour the yolk mixture back into the pan with the rest of the cream.

4. Cook the custard: Stir over low heat until it thickens slightly and coats the back of a spoon (about 170°F / 77°C).

5. Cool completely in the fridge — ideally for a few hours or overnight.

6. Churn in an ice cream maker (or freeze in a container and stir every 30 mins for a few hours).

7. Freeze until firm. Let sit out for a few minutes before scooping. Enjoy!

Pour the cooled mixture into a freezer-safe container. Freeze and stir every 30–60 mins for 3–4 hours to reduce ice crystals.
