Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 4 large egg yolks
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped dill pickles plus extra for garnish
  • 1 tsp dill weed
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Equipment

  • Saucepan
  • Mixing bowls
  • Whisk
  • Ice cream maker
  • Freezer-safe container

Method
 

  1. Heat the heavy cream and whole milk in a saucepan over medium heat until tiny bubbles form around the edges.
  2. Whisk together the egg yolks and sugar in a mixing bowl until pale yellow.
  3. Slowly pour the warm cream mixture into the egg yolks while whisking constantly to avoid scrambling the eggs.
  4. Pour the combined mixture back into the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly until it thickens slightly (about 8-10 minutes).
  5. Once it coats the back of a spoon, remove from heat and stir in the dill weed, salt, and vanilla extract.
  6. Let the mixture cool completely, possibly using an ice bath.
  7. Stir in the finely chopped dill pickles once cooled.
  8. Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
  9. Transfer the soft ice cream to a freezer-safe container and freeze for at least 4 hours to firm up.
  10. Garnish with extra pickles before serving.
