Heavenly homemade ice cream

After 4 months on a fitness diet, it's fair to say I have a decent amount of egg yolks in my freezer.

I have so many plans for these beloved yellow wonders, and first up is homemade ice cream.

I made a vanilla base, that you can add different flavors to if you want.

The basic recipe goes like this

• 8 egg yolks
• 150g - 2/3 cup sugar
• 5 dl - 2 cups heavy cream
• 1 vanilla bean

Split the vanilla bean and scrape out the seeds. In a mixer, add egg yolks and sugar, and beat until fluffy. Add the vanilla.

Whip the cream until soft peaks form, and fold into the egg mix.

Now you can split up the batter and add as many flavors as you want. 

Cover as many containers as you have flavors with baking paper. Add the ice cream and put it in the freezer. Stir now and then during the freezing process, so crystals don't form in the ice cream.

Some flavor suggestions:

• Chocolate
• Caramel & pecan
• Pistachio
• Strawberry
• Blueberry
• Licorice
• Coconut
• Peach
• Mango
• Lemon or Lime
• Coffee
