Fruity Oil Ice Cream
- 3 cups whole milk
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 6 large egg yolks
- 9 ounces granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup cold-pressed fruit or nut oil, hazelnut, olive, walnut, pistachio, etc.
- Place the milk and heavy cream into a medium saucepan and set over medium heat.
- Bring the mixture just to a simmer, stirring occasionally, and remove from heat.
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk the egg yolks until they lighten in color.
- Gradually add the sugar and whisk to combine.
- Add the oil and whisk thoroughly.
- Temper the cream mixture into the egg mixture by whisking in small amounts, approximately 1 tablespoon at a time, until about a 1/3 of the cream mixture has been added.
- Pour in the remainder of the cream and stir to combine.
- Return the mixture to the saucepan and place over medium-low heat.
- Continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens slightly and reaches 170 to 175 degrees F, approximately 5 to 7 minutes.
- Strain the mixture through a fine mesh strainer into a container and place in the refrigerator uncovered.
- Allow to sit uncovered until it is cool enough not to form condensation on the lid.
- Cover and store for 4 hours, up to overnight, or until the temperature reaches 40 degrees or below.
- Pour into an ice cream maker and process according to the manufacturer's directions, approximately 25 to 35 minutes.
- Serve as is for soft serve or freeze for another 3 to 4 hours to allow ice cream to harden.
- If freezing longer than 4 hours, remove from the freezer for 15 to 20 minutes before serving.
