Tuesdays with Dorie | Vanilla Ice Cream

An ultra creamy custard based ice cream makes this vanilla ice cream not your every day “boring” vanilla.

I am dedicating this one to my dad, who is the only person I know that can walk into 31 Flavors and only see vanilla!  I use to find it so funny when we would go to Baskin Robbins and my dad would get the same ice cream every time;  unless he was feeling a little adventuruous and would opt for the ever so daring French Vanilla.

This vanilla ice cream which I made with fresh organic eggs, cream and milk and Tahitian Vanilla Beans is the ultimate vanilla ice cream.  The creamiest of every spoonful coats your tongue and the flavors continue to the bottom of your toes, it was heavenly!  Unfortunately, I am not a purist when it comes to vanilla ice cream and even though I loved this recipe, I loved it even more with the addtion of Burnt Salted Caramel Sauce.  The slightly smoky and salty sauce melted together (literally) with the flora tahitian vanilla, it was really was two sins combined into one!

Thank you to Lynne over at Cafe Lynnylu for picking this simple but rewarding challenge for this week’s Tuesdays With Dorie challenge – we now have a new favorite ice cream in our house.  Be sure to grab a big spoon and prepare  yourself for a whole lotta vanilla ice cream by dipping into the TWD blogroll this week.
