Ingredients with Measurements:
- 2 cups of fresh silver buffaloberries
- 1 1/2 cups of heavy cream
- 1 cup of whole milk
- 3/4 cup of granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon of salt
- 6 egg yolks
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
Special equipment needed:
- Ice cream maker
- Fine mesh strainer
Step-by-step instructions:
1. Rinse the silver buffaloberries and remove any stems or leaves.
2. In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, granulated sugar, and salt. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is hot but not boiling.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks until they are pale yellow and slightly thickened.
4. Slowly pour the hot cream mixture into the bowl with the egg yolks, whisking constantly to prevent the eggs from curdling.
5. Pour the mixture back into the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and coats the back of a spoon.
6. Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
7. Pour the mixture through a fine mesh strainer into a clean bowl to remove any lumps or bits of cooked egg.
8. Add the silver buffaloberries to the mixture and stir to combine.
9. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or until completely cold.
10. Once the mixture is cold, pour it into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions.
11. Transfer the ice cream to a freezer-safe container and freeze for at least 2 hours, or until firm.
