sugar in a medium bowl. Using a hand mixer on low speed or whisk, beat
until mixture is pale and thick.
3. Once the milk/cream mixture has come to a slight boil, whisk about
the hot mixture into the yolk/sugar mixture. Add another
then return the combined mixture to the saucepan. Using a wooden spoon,
stir the mixture constantly over low heat until it thickens slightly and coats
the back of the spoon. This mixture must NOT boil or the yolks will overcook
– the process should only take a few minutes.
4. Let ice cream base come to room temperature. Then cover and refrigerate at
least 2 hours, or overnight. Before churning, pour the mixture through a fine
mesh strainer and discard the vanilla pod.
5. Turn the machine ON, pour mixture into the freezer bowl and let mix until
thickened, resembling a soft serve consistency. Timing can vary between
10 and 25 minutes. Transfer the ice cream to an airtight container and place
in freezer for about 2 hours. Remove from freezer about 15 minutes before
serving.
