1. Pour the milk into a saucepan and bring slowly to a simmer. DO NOT BOIL. Once
mixture is bubbling slightly, remove from heat. Place the vanilla pods into it and leave
to infuse for about 20 minutes.
2. In a bowl, beat together the egg yolks and sugar (and cornflower if using it) until
thick. Carefully remove the vanilla pod from the pan of milk and scrape out any excess
seeds into the milk. Whisking constantly, pour the milk mixture into the mixture of
egg yolks and sugar. Whisk until mixed well. Pour the mixture back into the pan and
heat gently, constantly stirring until the mixture thickens to a custard - DO NOT BOIL
OR MIXTURE WILL CURDLE. When you see a film form over the back of your spoon,
remove the saucepan from the heat. Let mixture cool completely.
3. When the custard base is completely cooled, stir in heavy cream and transfer to a
chilled bowl. For best results refrigerate the mix for at least 3 hours (overnight if you
have the time). Transfer the mixture into ice cream maker and freeze according to the
instructions.
