10 egg yolks
500ml double cream
500ml milk
300g sugar
1 vanilla pod, or equivalent extract
add the milk & cream to a pan. add the vanilla pod (split, scape out the case, and add the case and scraped ‘beans’). bring nearly to a boil.
in a mixer, whip the yolks and sugar till white and fluffy.
Add the hot milk/cream (through a sieve if using a vanilla pod) to the fluffy sugar/eggs and mix as you add.
Cool the resulting custard then add to the icecream maker. makes 2 batches.
for cinnamon icecream, add 1 tsp of cinnamon powder to the vanilla custard whilst still hot. (cinnamon icecream goes really well with apple pie!)
