Ingredients
Method
Warm the Dairy
- In a medium saucepan, combine milk, cream, and half the sugar. Heat over medium until steaming (not boiling).
Whisk the Yolks
- In a separate bowl, whisk egg yolks with the remaining sugar and salt until lightened in color.
Temper the Mixture
- Slowly ladle hot dairy into the yolks while whisking constantly. Return the whole mixture to the saucepan.
Cook the Custard
- Stir over medium-low heat until thick enough to coat the back of a spoon (170–175°F / 77–80°C). Do not boil.
Finish the Base
- Remove from heat. Stir in vanilla and Bona Furtuna Forté EVOO. Strain through a fine mesh sieve if desired. Chill completely, at least 4 hours.
Churn
- Pour the chilled base into your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions. *(For Breville Smart Scoop™, pre-cool the machine, select “ice cream” hardness, then press start.)*
Freeze
- Transfer to a container and freeze until firm, at least 2 hours.
Serve
- Scoop into bowls. Drizzle with Bona Furtuna Grand Cru EVOO and sprinkle with flaky salt.
