Make super premium, Chocolate, Andes mint, Oreo Ice cream.

Step 5 Prepare the egg yolks.

While the dairy is heating up, it's time to get the egg yolks (8 of them) prepared. If you don't know how to separate the white part from the yellow part (the yolk) there are tons of instructables that cover it.   Put the yolks into a bowl of your choice (not the one in the freezer) and whisk them until they lighten in color.  I used to hate that instruction when I'd see it because it seems to be very open to interpretation (not my favorite thing), but with experience I've decided that the human mind can very well judge when this happens, so just trust yourself, you will be right.  I don't know where I heard it, but I always try to let eggs warm up to room temperature before doing anything with them. That includes separating, whisking, etc...  You don't have to do it, I don't know if it makes the ice cream any better, or worse, but that's what I do.
