Homemade Vanilla Ice Cream Recipe

Homemade Vanilla Ice Cream

Recipe by Jackie Cameron

Yields: about 1.3 litres

Ingredients:

6 Egg Yolks
½ cup Sugar
1 l Cream

1 T Glucose

1 Split Vanilla pod
2.5 ml Vanilla Extract-for flavour or 10 ml Vanilla Essence

Method:

1) Beat the egg yolks and sugar in an electric beater until light and creamy

2) Allow the cream, glucose, split vanilla pod and extract to come to the boil. Take off the heat and allow the flavours to infuse (Suppliers: Vanilla products are becoming more and more readily available to the public. Any good food shop should have them on their shelves.)

3) Add warm cream mixture to beaten egg yolk mixture and strain

4) If an ice cream machine isn't available place chilled mixture into the freezer. Whisk every 15-30 minutes until frozen to allow for a light, fluffy ice cream.
