Homemade Vanilla Ice Cream Recipe
Ingredients
4 egg yolks
1/2 pint (250ml) milk
1/2 pint (250ml) double/heavy cream
4 oz (100g) sugar or caster sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract (or according to taste - everyone's
different!)
Steps
First of all blister the milk
(bring slowly up to boiling point in a saucepan). Separately,
mix together the egg yolks and sugar pending thick. Pour into
this the hot milk, whilst continuously stirring. Then pour
the mixture back into the pan and heat gently, stirring until
the custard thickens - DO NOT BRING TO THE BOIL OR IT WILL
PROBABLY CURDLE.
When you can see a film form in excess of the back of your
spoon it's time to remove the saucepan from the heat. Leave
to cool.
This is the custard base and
one you can use in a lot of other recipes.
When the custard base is cold,
stir in the ice
cream and vanilla extract, then transfer the
whole combination into an ice cream maker and freeze according
to the manufacturer's instructions.
