Instructions

Ice Cream Base

  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk egg yolks, sugar, and vanilla powder for 2 minutes.
  • In a large pot, pour heavy cream and whole milk. Slowly heat up until it reaches 175 degrees Fahrenheit (80 degrees Celsius) while stirring.
  • Remove the pot from heat and add the egg yolk/sugar mixture.
  • Bring back the pot and slowly heat up to 175 degrees Fahrenheit (80 degrees Celsius) again. It is important not to let it boil.
  • Let the ice cream base cool in the fridge for 3 hours. Meanwhile, make the bilberry/blueberry mixture.

Bilberry/Blueberry mixture

  • Place bilberries/blueberries, sugar, and 1 tablespoon of water in a small pot. Slowly bring to a boil and let simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from heat.

Place in Ice Cream Machine

  • When the ice cream base has cooled for 3 hours, take it out of the fridge. Turn on your ice cream machine and pour in the ice cream base and the bilberry/blueberry mixture. There is no need to mix it before it goes into the machine.
  • After 15-30 minutes the bilberry/blueberry ice cream is done and can either be eaten right away or placed in the freezer for further freezing.
