The base for cream ice cream is a classic preparation used as a starting point for many ice creams. Its creamy texture and delicate vanilla flavor make it perfect for enhancing and enriching any ice cream flavor. This recipe is simple and requires few ingredients, but guarantees a truly delicious result.


Shell the eggs separating the egg whites from the yolks.
Place the yolks in a bowl and beat them together with the sugar using an electric whisk until you obtain a light and frothy mixture.
Gently warm the cream in a saucepan then slowly add it to the yolk mixture while whisking with a hand whisk (be careful not to use the electric whisk anymore!).
Now transfer the cream to a saucepan and set it in a larger container filled halfway with water.
Place the two containers over low heat and cook the cream in a double boiler until it starts to thicken, coating the spoon.
Then transfer the saucepan into a container full of ice water and cool the cream while stirring.
When the cream is cold, pour it into the ice cream maker container, put it in the freezer, and prepare the ice cream according to your machine's instructions.
If you do not have electric equipment but still want to prepare ice cream at home and want it well churned, you will need to follow some precautions.
First of all, remember that after placing the container (or the trays complete with or without dividers) in the freezer, the product to be frozen should be stirred with a wooden spoon about every 30 minutes until it is soft enough to do so.
This method will prevent ice crystals from forming on the surface of the ice cream.
