Homemade Vanilla Bean Ice Cream

Nothing will beat the vanilla flavor of beans scraped from the pod. If you're going to go through the trouble of making ice cream homemade, then invest in some vanilla beans. Put leftover pods (let dry) in a jar with sugar to make vanilla sugar. This makes about 4 scoops of ice cream, 2-4 servings depending on your appetite;) Just double or triple for a bigger batch.

Cooking time :

200 ml

whipping cream (30-40%)

200 ml

whole milk

75 g

sugar

1 pinch

vanilla bean pod

egg yolks

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Add cream, milk, sugar, salt and vanilla beans/pod to a medium pot. Heat on low until sugar dissolves.

* Step 2

Meanwhile beat egg yolks until creamy.

* Step 3

Once sugar has dissolved, gradually mix in one third of the hot cream mixture into the beaten egg yolks. Add the egg yolk mixture back into the pot.

* Step 4

Heat on low to medium-low heat, stirring often, until the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon and leave a clean line when you run your finger though it. It should only take a couple of minutes.

* Step 5

Turn off heat. Cover the pot and let the vanilla steep for 30 minutes in the custard.

* Step 6

After 30 minutes, strain the custard through a fine sieve to remove any eggy clumps and the vanilla pods.

* Step 7

Let the custard cool then put into the refrigerator to chill for at least 4 hours or overnight.

* Step 8

Pour into a plastic container and put into the freezer. Mix up well every hour to help break up the ice crystals and keep it creamy. After 3-4 hours the ice cream should be still soft bu just hard enough to eat! Alternatively, use your ice cream maker to finish up the ice cream.
