Instructions
Step 1
In a medium saucepan, whisk 1 cup of the sugar with the egg yolks until smooth. Stir in the remaining 1⁄2 cup sugar, 2 cups cream, and the milk until smooth and place over medium-high heat. Cook the custard, stirring constantly, until it coats the back of a spoon, about 8 minutes. Scrape the custard into a bowl and stir in the remaining 2 cups cream and the salt. Let the custard cool to room temperature and refrigerate until chilled, at least 4 hours.
Step 2
Pour the chilled custard into an ice cream machine and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions. Scrape the ice cream into a container and freeze until firm, at least 6 hours. Serve with more sea salt sprinkled on top.
