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.
