Rich Vanilla Ice Cream: Classic British recipe for a classic ice cream made from a cream custard base flavoured with vanilla extract, shown as a single scoop.

Ingredients:

150ml milk
45g sugar
2 egg yolks, beaten
1 tsp vanilla extract
150ml double cream, partially whipped

Method:

Combine the milk and sugar in a saucepan. Heat gently until the sugar dissolves then bring the mixture just to the scalding point (when small bubbles form a the sides of the pan). Take off the heat and allow to cool slightly then, whilst whisking constantly, pour over the egg yolks.

Whisk thoroughly to combine then pour back into the pan. Cook over very gentle heat, stirring constantly, until the custard thickens. Strain then beat in the vanilla essence. Set aside to cool then fold in the partially whipped cream. Freeze in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Alternatively pour into a plastic box and set in the freezer. Stir the mixture every 20 minutes until half frozen then allow to freeze completely until hard.
