1

Whisk together the egg yolks and sugar

In a mixing bowl, whisk together 4 egg yolks and 3/4 cup of sugar until the mixture becomes pale and thick. It's like a workout for your arm muscles, but don't worry, you'll burn off those calories later!

2

Heat the olive oil and milk

In a saucepan, combine 1 cup of whole milk and 1/2 cup of olive oil. Heat the mixture over low heat until it's warm, but not boiling. This is the 'simmering and chatting with milk and olive oil' phase.

3

Temper the egg mixture

Slowly pour the warm milk and olive oil mixture into the egg yolks while whisking continuously. This is a fancy way of saying 'add the hot stuff to the egg stuff without scrambling the eggs'. Keep whisking until everything is well-combined.

4

Cook the custard

Transfer the mixture back into the saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens and coats the back of a spoon. This stage requires some patience and a strong stirring arm, but trust us, it's worth it!

5

Chill and churn

Pour the custard into a bowl and let it cool to room temperature. Then cover it with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, but overnight is even better. Once chilled, pour the custard into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions. Get ready to witness the magic of turning liquid gold into creamy frozen goodness!

6

Freeze and savor

Transfer the churned ice cream into a freezer-safe container and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until it's firm enough to scoop. Now comes the best part – grab a spoon, scoop out a generous serving of Olive Oil Ice Cream, and savor every spoonful of this scoop of summer!
