Ingredients
  

For the Ice Cream

  • 50 g caster sugar Adjust for sweetness preference
  • 500 ml dairy-free milk Use your favorite dairy-free option
  • 250 ml dairy-free cream Optional for creaminess

Preparation
  1. In a mixing bowl, whip together the egg yolks, vanilla extract or vanilla pod, and caster sugar until thick and creamy.
  2. Pour the dairy-free milk into a medium-sized saucepan and heat over medium heat until boiling.
  3. Slowly add the boiling milk to the egg mixture while stirring continuously.
  4. Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over low heat while stirring constantly until thickened, about 5 to 10 minutes.
  5. Remove from heat and allow to cool to room temperature.
  6. Chill in the fridge for at least 2 hours.
  7. If using an ice cream maker, churn the chilled mixture for about 20 minutes. If not, pour it into a freezer-safe container and freeze, stirring every 30 minutes for 2-3 hours.
Assembly
