Making Vanilla Bean Ice Cream at home is a fun and easy way to enjoy your favourite flavour. You will need a few basic ingredients to make your ice cream, including heavy cream, half-and-half, sugar, a pinch of salt and either a vanilla bean or vanilla extract. Start by combining the heavy cream, half-and-half, sugar and salt in a medium saucepan over low heat and stirring until the sugar has dissolved. If you are using a vanilla bean, cut it in half lengthwise and scrape out the seeds with the back of a knife. Then add the seeds and bean pod to the cream mixture, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a simmer and then remove it from the heat and allow it to cool for about 20 minutes before transferring it to an airtight container for chilling. Once the mixture is cold, follow your ice cream maker's instructions for churning your ice cream until it reaches a soft-serve consistency. Transfer the ice cream to an airtight container and freeze until solid.
To make Chocolate Ice Cream, you'll need the same ingredients as for the Vanilla Bean recipe-heavy cream, milk, egg yolks, sugar, and vanilla extract- but with an additional ingredient of chocolate. Start by melting chopped dark or semisweet chocolate in a double boiler or in a bowl over simmering water until it is smooth and melted. Once melted, remove it from the heat and let it cool slightly. Meanwhile, prepare the custard base by heating the cream, milk and sugar in a saucepan over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally until the sugar dissolves. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks. When the cream mixture is hot and steaming, take it off the heat and add it to the egg yolks while whisking constantly. Return this mixture to the saucepan and heat over medium-low heat while stirring constantly until it thickens. Finally, stir in the melted chocolate and vanilla extract. Let it cool completely before churning in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Coffee Ice Cream is a beloved flavour that's sure to please any coffee lover. To make it, you'll need 1 cup of heavy cream, 1 cup of whole milk, 2/3 cup of granulated sugar, 5 egg yolks, and 2 tablespoons of espresso powder. Start by heating the cream and milk in a large saucepan over medium heat until steaming. In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and sugar until smooth. Gradually add the hot cream mixture to the egg mixture and mix until combined. Strain the mixture into a clean saucepan and whisk in espresso powder. Cook over low heat until the custard thickens and coats the back of a spoon. Strain the custard into a clean bowl, cover it with plastic wrap, and chill for at least 4 hours or overnight. Once the custard is chilled, churn it in your ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions and freeze until set.

To make Blueberry Ice Cream at home, you'll need one cup of fresh or frozen blueberries, one and a half cups of heavy cream, three-quarters of a cup of whole milk, three-quarters of a cup of granulated sugar, half a teaspoon of pure vanilla extract, and one pinch of salt. Begin by heating the blueberries in a saucepan over medium heat. Allow the blueberries to simmer until they start to break down and a syrup forms. Remove the syrup from the heat and allow it to cool. Then whisk together the heavy cream, milk, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt in a bowl until the sugar is dissolved. Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and process according to the manufacturer's instructions. Once the ice cream is ready, add in the cooled blueberry syrup and mix until it is thoroughly combined.
