1pint (2 cups) Heavy Whipping Cream(I recommend this cream – amazon link)
1/2cupSaltfor ice bath, not consumed
Ice Cubesfor ice bath
Instructions
Fill a large bowl halfway with ice cubes. Sprinkle 1/2 cup of salt over the ice and mix well. Place a smaller metal bowl inside the larger bowl, nestling it in the ice.
Separate 5 egg yolks from the whites. Pour 1 pint of heavy cream into the chilled metal bowl, add the egg yolks, and mix on low speed with an electric mixer for 10 minutes (or whisk by hand for about 15 minutes) until thick and stiff.
Cover the bowl setup with a towel and place it in the freezer for 45 minutes.
Remove from freezer and beat the mixture again for 5 minutes with an electric mixer (or a bit more by hand) to break up ice crystals and ensure a creamy texture.
Transfer the mix to a container, cover, and freeze for 2-3 hours. Enjoy!
