This silky, luscious and very classic custard can be used as the base
for any ice cream flavor you can dream up. These particular proportions
of milk and cream to egg yolk will give you a thick but not sticky ice
cream that feels decadent but not heavy. For something a little lighter,
use more milk and less cream, as long as the dairy adds up to 3 cups.
You can also cut down on egg yolks for a thinner base, but donβt go
below three. Then flavor it any way you like. See the chart here for
