Soft Serve Sundae Recipe

American · Dessert · 25 min total

A creamy, homemade soft serve ice cream topped with your favorite sundae fixings. This easy recipe uses a simple custard base for a rich, smooth texture.

Ingredients

• 2 cups whole milk
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 4 large egg yolks
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• For serving: chocolate sauce, caramel sauce, whipped cream, sprinkles, cherries

Instructions

1. In a medium saucepan, combine milk, cream, sugar, and salt. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until mixture is hot and sugar dissolves, but do not boil.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk egg yolks. Slowly pour about 1 cup of the hot milk mixture into the yolks, whisking constantly to temper.
3. Pour the yolk mixture back into the saucepan. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until mixture thickens and coats the back of the spoon (about 170°F on a thermometer). Do not let it boil.
4. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean bowl. Let cool to room temperature, then cover and refrigerate until completely chilled, at least 4 hours or overnight.
5. Pour the chilled custard into an ice cream maker and churn according to manufacturer's instructions until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
6. Serve immediately in bowls or cones, topped with chocolate sauce, caramel sauce, whipped cream, sprinkles, and a cherry.

Tips

• For extra richness, substitute 1 cup of milk with an additional cup of heavy cream.
• If you don't have an ice cream maker, pour the custard into a shallow dish and freeze, stirring every 30 minutes until soft-serve consistency.
• Store leftover soft serve in an airtight container in the freezer; it will harden. Let it soften at room temperature for a few minutes before serving.
