Ingredients
- ¾ cup sugar
- 2 tbsp cornstarch
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 ½ cups whole milk
- 3 oz cream cheese
- 4 tsp vanilla extract or 2 tsp Vanilla Bean Paste
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan mix sugar and cornstarch. Add the cream, milk and cream cheese. Whisk over medium-high heat until the cream cheese has melted and the mixture is smooth and begins to simmer, about 8 minutes. Simmer for 2 minutes, add vanilla and strain through a fine sieve.

Notes
I added a bit of cream cheese, which gives this ice cream a smooth texture and extra-rich flavor.
