A nostalgic, creamy homemade Moon Mist ice cream featuring a smooth custard base with fruity swirls of orange, raspberry, and blueberry syrups. Easy to make and perfect for summer gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups whole milk (480 ml)
  • 1 cup heavy cream (240 ml)
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar (150 g)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons orange-flavored syrup
  • 2 tablespoons raspberry syrup
  • 1 tablespoon blueberry syrup (optional)
  • 3 large egg yolks, room temperature
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine whole milk, heavy cream, and half of the granulated sugar (75 g). Warm over medium heat until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is hot but not boiling (about 170°F / 77°C), stirring occasionally.
  2. Whisk the egg yolks with the remaining sugar (75 g) in a bowl until pale and slightly thickened, about 2 minutes.
  3. Slowly pour about 1 cup (240 ml) of the hot milk mixture into the egg yolks while whisking constantly to temper the eggs. Then pour the egg mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining milk mixture.
  4. Return the saucepan to medium-low heat, stirring constantly until the custard thickens and coats the back of a spoon (around 170-175°F / 77-80°C). Do not boil.
  5. Strain the custard through a fine mesh sieve into a clean bowl. Stir in vanilla extract and a pinch of salt. Let cool slightly, cover with plastic wrap on the surface, and chill in the fridge for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  6. Pour the chilled custard base into an ice cream maker and churn according to manufacturer’s instructions (usually 20-25 minutes) until soft-serve consistency.
  7. In a freezer-safe container, layer the churned ice cream with drizzles of orange syrup, raspberry syrup, and blueberry syrup. Repeat layers and gently swirl with a butter knife to create a marbled effect.
  8. Cover and freeze for at least 4 hours or until firm. Before serving, let sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to soften.

Notes

Chill the custard base thoroughly before churning for best texture. Use gentle swirling to keep syrup colors distinct. If no ice cream maker is available, use the no-churn method by freezing and stirring every 30 minutes. Let ice cream soften 10-15 minutes before scooping for easier serving.
