How to make your own Vanilla Ice Cream…

8fl oz Milk
16fl oz single cream
1 Vanilla Bean,
split & scraped
6 egg yolks
225g Caster Sugar

Place the milk, cream and scraped vanilla pod and beans into a saucepan and heat gently until hot, but not boiling. Remove from the heat and set aside.

Place the egg yolks and sugar in a bowl and whisk until thick and pale. Remove the vanilla bean from the hot milk and slowly pour over the egg yolk and sugar mixture whilst whisking well to combine.

Pour the mixture back into the pan and heat gently until the custard is thick and coats the back of a spoon.

Set aside to cool and then place in an ice cream maker, churning until you have thick, scoopable ice cream.
