• Vanilla ice-cream:

INGREDIENTS:

• * 12 egg yolks
• * 1 vanilla pod
• * 300gr caster sugar (very fine sugar)
• * 500ml whole milk
• * 500ml cream (40%fat)

• Divide the egg yolks from the whites, put the white aside (freeze it or use those for another recipe).
• Put the egg yolks into a big bowl and add the sugar, whisk it all together.
• Keep whisking untill is has turned slightly whiter than before (or beat a few minutes in the Kenwood or Kitchenaid)
• In a cooking pot, add the milk, the cream and the vanilla pod and bring to boiling point.
• (big enough cooking pot, we add the egg mixture aswell later)
• Add the milk/cream mixture to the eggs and whisk it firmly and quit fast.
• We don't want the eggs to set to fast, not making an omelet.

• Pour everything back into the cooking pot and on a low cooking stand whisk the mixture gently.
• Beat the mixture in a figure eight over medium heat. Keep a close eye on the bottom of the pan.
• When the mixture starts to stick at the bottom and the drawing of your tapping movement is clearly visible.
• DO NOT LET THE MIXTURE COOK AGAIN, whisk it untill it thikens.
• Remove the vanilla pod and pour the mixture into a big bowl.
• Set aside to cool down, best is to let is set overnight in the fridge.
• (let it cool down first to room-temperature before setting it into the fridge)
• Pour the mixture into the ice-cream machine and let the machine do the rest!

• Best served when made!
