Prep Time 25 minutes mins
Cook Time 5 minutes mins
Total Time 6 minutes mins
- 1 ½ cups whole milk
- ⅓ cup granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons vanilla pudding powder *
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
In a medium, heavy-bottomed saucepan heat the milk and sugar together until it comes to a simmer.
Add about a cup of the hot milk mixture to the pudding powder, whisk until smooth.
Pour the pudding mixture into the pot of hot milk and cook over medium-low heat until the mixture thickens, about 2-3 minutes.
Set aside to cool down completely and thicken even. (Place over a bowl of ice to cool quickly if needed)
Whip the heavy whipping cream and vanilla extract together on high speed using an electric mixer until stiff peaks have formed.
Fold the cooled, pudding mixture into the whipped cream until the mixture is smooth and there are no lumps.
Pour the ice cream into a freezable container for a minimum of 6 hours to freeze.
Once frozen, scoop and enjoy. If it seems a little hard to scoop allow it to sit at room temperature for 15 minutes to soften slightly.
Store in the freezer for up to 8 weeks.
