heavy cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: milk + cornstarch

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

sugar

🥗Healthier: honey

💰Cheaper: brown sugar

Honey can add a unique flavor while being a natural sweetener.

vanilla extract

🥗Healthier: vanilla bean

💰Cheaper: vanilla essence

Vanilla essence is often less expensive than pure extract.

egg yolks

🥗Healthier: silken tofu

💰Cheaper: egg substitute

Silken tofu provides a creamy texture without eggs.

1

Heat heavy cream and milk in a saucepan over medium heat until steaming, but not boiling.

2

Whisk together egg yolks and sugar in a bowl until pale and thick.

3

Slowly pour the hot cream mixture into the egg yolks, whisking constantly to temper the eggs.

4

Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly until thickened, about 5-10 minutes.

5

Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract and a pinch of salt.

6

If using optional flavorings, add them at this stage.

7

Strain the custard through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl to remove any cooked egg bits.

8

Cool the custard to room temperature, then refrigerate until chilled, at least 4 hours or overnight.

9

Churn the chilled custard in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions.

10

Transfer the churned ice cream to a container and freeze until firm, at least 4 hours before serving.
