1 cup sugar After freezing the ice cream you may add any dried fruit that has been soaked for
12 hours in cognac. 1. Heat the milk to a boil with the vanilla bean. 2. Beat the egg yolks with the sugar in a heavy bottomed pot, until well mixed. 3. Remove the vanilla bean from the milk. Add the milk to the egg yolk mixture and stir
constantly over low heat, until the liquid thickens enough to coat the back of a metal
spoon. DO NOT BOIL. 4. Transfer immediately to another bowl. Cover with waxed paper and cool in the
refrigerator, mixing occasionally to prevent a crust from forming. 5. Freeze the mixture in an ice cream freezer. |
