production
Heat the milk with the split vanilla pod, remove from
the heat and allow to infuse for at least 10 minutes.
Remove the pod, scrape the seeds and place seeds back
into the milk (the pod may be finely chopped and used
or dried and placed into a container of castor sugar to
make vanilla scented sugar)
Place the yolks and sugar into a bowl and mix well with
a whisk
Temper the egg mixture by slowly adding half the hot
milk to it while constantly stirring.
Stir the tempered egg mixture into the remaining hot
milk (use a clean pan)
Cook over a medium heat stirring constantly, until the
mixture thickens slightly and coats the back of a spoon
Strain and allow to cool slightly
Pour into an ice cream machine and churn
chef notes:
To make without an ice cream machine, pour into a shallow
tray and
allow to semi freeze.
Remove and place in a bowl and whisk to break up any
ice crystals.
