Whisk egg yolks and sugar until pale; gradually whisk in hot cream mixture. Pour back into saucepan; cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until mixture coats the back of a spoon. Add vanilla and salt; cool over an ice bath. Freeze in ice cream maker according to manufacturer’s directions. Store in freezer.
