Required Kitchen Tools

With the right tools, preparing this creamy macadamia nut ice cream becomes much easier. Here are my go-to essentials:
  1. Saucepan – To heat the milk and cream gently without scorching.
  2. Mixing Bowls – For whisking eggs, sugar, and cream separately.
  3. Whisk or Electric Mixer – To beat egg yolks and sugar until fluffy.
  4. Heatproof Spatula – Perfect for stirring the custard as it thickens.
  5. Ice Cream Maker – For churning the mixture into smooth, creamy ice cream.
  6. Freezer-Safe Container – For storing finished ice cream.
Tip: If you don't have an ice cream maker, don't worry, I'll share a no-churn option later in this recipe.
