Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 1 cup half-and-half
  • 2 14-ounce cans sweetened condensed milk
  • 1½ cups sugar
  • 6 large egg yolks lightly beaten
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1 pint fresh blueberries
  • 2 cups chopped fresh strawberries

Method
 

  1. In a heavy 4-quart saucepan, combine cream, half-and-half, sweetened condensed milk, and sugar. Bring to a simmer over medium heat; do not boil.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine egg yolks and vanilla. Add 2 cups hot cream mixture to egg mixture, stirring until well blended. Whisking constantly, gradually add egg mixture to remaining hot milk mixture in saucepan. Return to medium heat, and cook, whisking constantly, for 7 to 8 minutes or until mixture thickens slightly and coats the back of a spoon. Remove from heat, and let cool for 10 minutes. Cover, and chill for 4 hours to overnight.
  3. In the container of an ice-cream freezer, combine cream mixture, blueberries, and strawberries. Freeze according to manufacturer’s instructions. When ice cream is almost frozen but still soft, add crumbled Vanilla Shortcake. Spoon ice cream into a freezer-safe container, and freeze for 4 hours to overnight.
