@hellofalife_55: this might be my favorite homemade ice cream yet. I wanted fresh peach ice cream but decided at the last minute to keep the vanilla ice cream simple and layer it with fresh peaches and a buttery brown sugar pecan crunch instead. best decision. i used just one egg yolk in the base and it gave it the perfect creamy texture without making it taste like custard. served it all layered in a little cocktail glass and it was absolutely perfect. recipe vanilla ice cream 1 1/2 cups heavy cream 1 1/2 cups whole milk 2/3 cup sugar 1 egg yolk 1 tsp vanilla pinch salt warm 1 1/2 cups milk with sugar + salt. slowly whisk a little into the yolk, then return to pan and cook briefly. whisk into remaining cold milk + cream. add vanilla. chill completely. churn on speed 1 for 20-25 min, then freeze until scoopable. pecan crunch 1/2 cup chopped pecans 2 tbsp butter 2 tbsp brown sugar pinch salt toast pecans in butter about 2 min. add brown sugar + salt and cook 1-2 min until caramelized. cool completely. serve with fresh peaches + crumbled pecan crunch! #homemadeicecream #peaches #cozykitchen #dessert #summerdessert
