Ingredients
- 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.
Directions
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.

I made this twice, first time with walnut oil, second time with hazelnut oil. Both are delicious! When I made the walnut oil, I sprinkled chopped walnuts on it, and added a light sprinkle of cinnamon when served.
With the hazelnut oil, I added some chopped blanched (to remove the brown skin and toasted hazelnuts during the last 5 minutes of the freezing time.
This recipe is very easy and gives excellent results. The texture is very pleasing, and freezes nicely. Some ice cream recipes I have made in the past freeze so hard that they are difficult to serve, too icy. This recipe produces ice cream that is easy to serve, scoopable right out of the freezer. It is like a soft serve right after the ice cream freezer cycle, but reaches a scoopable texture after just a few hours in the refrigerator/freezer.
This recipe is a big hit with my family!

I made this with almond oil and it was fabulous!!!!! PLEASE follow his recipe exactly--it makes the most wonderful, smooth ice cream ever. I also used a stand mixer with the whisk attachment to keep my arm from looking like Schwarzenneger.Kudos, Alton!
