Ingredients

2 cups of heavy cream

2 cups of whole milk

1 cup of sugar

1/2 of a vanilla bean, split in half and scraped (see note below)

6 egg yolks

Directions

In a medium size heavy sauce pan, heat cream, milk, vanilla bean (and the scraped pulp), sugar over medium heat.

Bring it to a gentle simmer but DO NOT BOIL.

In a separate, small mixing bowl, whisk egg yolks until smooth. Pour one cup of the hot liquid into the eggs and whisk constantly until smooth.

Add the entire yolk mixture and whisk until fully incorporated.

Bring it back to a simmer and continue to cook mixing constantly, until the mixture becomes thick and coats the back of a wooden spoon, about 4-6 minutes.

Slowly pour the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve fitted over a glass or ceramic bowl to strain out any solids and the vanilla bean.

Press the mixture with the back of a spoon to get all that great liquid out.

Lay a sheet of plastic wrap across the top, touching the top of the liquid so a skin doesn’t form.

Refrigerate for 2-4 hours.

Pour into your ice cream maker and follow the manufacturer’s directions for processing, freezing and storing.
