Slow-churned to perfection, this ice cream has a heavenly sweet and caramelly maple flavor enhanced by its smooth, creamy texture. Homemade ice cream for the win!
Add egg yolks in a medium saucepan and lightly beat with a whisk.
Add maple syrup, corn starch, and salt to the saucepan, whisking to combine.
Place the saucepan over medium-low heat. Add half and half to the saucepan and whisk continuously until the mixture thickens and almost boils, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat. The first sign of bubbling or a bubble pop is a good indicator, or roughly 180°F / 82°C.
Immediately stream heavy whipping cream slowly into the saucepan while whisking continuously. Add vanilla and maple extract and whisk thoroughly.
Drain the mixture through a mesh strainer into a medium bowl. Place a layer of plastic wrap on the surface of the mix to prevent a film from forming. Cover the bowl, and refrigerate for 4 hours.
Once ready to churn, remove from the refrigerator and add to your ice cream maker--follow the manufacturer's instructions to convert the mixture into ice cream.
