Photographia Ice Cream

Indulge in the creamy goodness of homemade ice cream infused with real vanilla bean and studded with chocolate chips. This classic treat is perfect for capturing sweet moments and creating lasting memories.

Ingredients:

• 2 cups heavy cream
• 1 cup whole milk
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 vanilla bean, split lengthwise and seeds scraped out
• 4 large egg yolks
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup chocolate chips

Instructions:

In a saucepan, heat the heavy cream, whole milk, sugar, and vanilla bean seeds and pod over medium heat until it just begins to simmer, stirring occasionally

In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks and salt until well combined

Slowly pour about 1/2 cup of the hot cream mixture into the egg yolks while whisking constantly to temper the eggs

Pour the egg mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining cream mixture, stirring constantly over medium-low heat until the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 5-7 minutes

Remove from heat and strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean bowl, discarding the vanilla bean pod

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface of the custard to prevent a skin from forming

Once chilled, churn the custard in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions until it reaches a soft-serve consistency

During the last minute of churning, add the chocolate chips to evenly distribute them throughout the ice cream

Transfer the churned ice cream to a freezer-safe container and freeze for at least 2 hours until firm
