Ingredients for Toffee Crunch Ice Cream

For the Ice Cream Base:

2 cups heavy cream
1 cup whole milk
3/4 cup granulated sugar
4 large egg yolks
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup toffee bits (store-bought or homemade)
1/4 teaspoon salt

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Ice Cream Base

In a saucepan, heat the milk, half of the sugar, and heavy cream over medium heat until it starts to steam (do not boil).
In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks with the remaining sugar until pale and smooth.
Slowly pour the warm milk mixture into the egg yolks while whisking to temper the eggs.
Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens into a custard (coats the back of a spoon).
Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract and salt.
Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve and cool completely.

Step 2: Churn and Freeze

Pour the chilled custard into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
When the ice cream is nearly set, fold in the toffee bits.
Transfer to a lidded container and freeze for at least 4 hours before serving.
