Directions:

  • In the carafe of a Vitamix or other high-powered blender, add 1 cup of the cream, all of the egg yolks, and the salt.

  • Combine the sugar with the rest of the cream in a pot and bring to a boil, stirring frequently to dissolve the sugar and prevent it from scorching. Remove from the heat.

  • Start the blender and turn to high. Slowly stream in the hot cream and sugar mixture. Use a probe thermometer to monitor the temperature as it blends.

  • Continue blending until the temperature reaches 170°F. Stop the blender and immediately pour the contents into a bowl.

  • Add the Herbes de Provence and whisk to combine. Steep for 10 minutes. Stir in the buttermilk and cool over an ice bath until chilled, stirring occasionally.

  • Freeze in an ice cream machine.
