Preparation

  1. Step 1

    In a saucepan, combine milk, cream and vanilla bean and bring to a simmer. Remove from heat and let steep for 15 minutes. Scrape seeds from bean into milk-cream mixture; discard bean.

  2. Step 2

    Place yolks in bowl; add sugar and whisk vigorously for about 30 seconds. Fill a large bowl with ice and water and place a second bowl over ice bath. Set a fine-mesh strainer over top bowl.

  3. Step 3

    Over medium heat, bring milk-cream mixture to a simmer, then pour it slowly into yolks while whisking continuously. Pour mixture back into pan and continue stirring over medium heat until thick enough that you can dip in a spoon and then draw a line through the custard that coats it, about 2 to 4 minutes.

  4. Step 4

    Pour sauce through strainer over ice bath and stir until cold. Refrigerate until ice cold, then place in ice-cream maker and freeze according to manufacturer’s instructions.
