Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 6 egg yolks
  • 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Instructions

  1. In a saucepan, melt unsalted butter over medium heat, stirring frequently until it turns golden brown and develops a nutty aroma. Allow it to cool slightly.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together granulated sugar and egg yolks until pale and creamy. Gradually add heavy cream and whole milk while whisking until well combined.
  3. Stir in the cooled browned butter, vanilla extract, and salt into the milk mixture.
  4. Pour the mixture back into the saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly for about 10 minutes until thickened enough to coat the back of a spoon.
  5. Let the custard base cool at room temperature, then cover with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  6. Once chilled, churn the mixture in an ice cream maker according to manufacturer instructions (about 20-25 minutes).
  7. Transfer the ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for at least 4 hours before serving.
