Instructions

  1. Split the vanilla pod, scrape out the seeds and infuse them with the milk and half of the cream in a saucepan over low heat.
  2. Whisk the yolks with the sugar until you have a pale, creamy mixture.
  3. Gradually pour the hot milk over the yolks while whisking, then return everything to the saucepan.
  4. Stir with a wooden spoon over low heat until the cream coats the spoon, never letting it boil (about 6 minutes).
  5. Strain, add the rest of the cold cream and let it cool completely.
  6. Churn in an ice cream maker or place in the freezer, stirring every 30 minutes for 3 hours.
