Notes

For a NON raw ice cream option:
We love making this with our own raw dairy and pasture eggs, if I don't have access to good sources of those I will follow these steps:
  1. In a heat-safe bowl, whisk the egg yolks and sweetner until smooth.
  2. Warm the dairy in a saucepan over medium-low heat until steaming, not boiling.
  3. While whisking constantly, slowly pour about ½ cup of the hot dairy into the egg yolks to gently warm them.
  4. Pour the egg mixture back into the saucepan and cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until slightly thickened and able to coat the back of a spoon.
  5. Remove from heat, add vanilla, strain if desired, and chill completely before churning.
Add in ideas:
  • Add 1 tsp peppermint extract & 1 cup mini chocolate chips for a mint chocolate chip version
  • Top with caramel Sauce
  • Fruit, fresh or frozen 
  • Nuts, Brownie chunks or cocao nibs 
  • Cookie Dough
