Ranks compare each pair with 20,000 random ingredient pairs on CompKitchen. How we score pairs

What each ingredient does

Eggs
Add richness and body, and help the custard-style base thicken and set as it freezes.
Evaporated milk
Adds creaminess and body, with concentrated milk solids that give a smooth texture.
Whole milk
Provides the liquid and fat that keep the ice cream creamy and smooth.

The step that matters

Beat the eggs into the milk mixture vigorously. Eggs must be fully blended into the cold milk base so they disperse evenly; uneven mixing can leave streaks or lumps and a grainy texture after freezing.
