Rich Vanilla Ice-Cream
A rich vanilla ice-cream recipe with an egg-based custard. Ice creams made with an electric ice cream maker are prepared somewhat differently, and the manufacturer's directions should be followed.
Ingredients

- 3 eggs
- 1 cup caster sugar superfine granulated
- 1/2 cup double cream (heavy cream)
- 2 tsp vanilla essence
Instructions
- Heat the milk until almost boiling.
- Beat the eggs and 100 g of the sugar together and add the hot milk, stirring well.
- Return the mixture to the pan and cook, without boiling, until the custard coats the back of a wooden spoon.
- Stir all the time. Strain, cover and leave to go cold.
- When cold, whip the cream until semi-stiff.
- Add the cold custard, vanilla essence, and the rest of the sugar.
- Turn into a suitable container.
- Chill until thoroughly cold, cover closely and half freeze
- Beat the mixture well. Re-freeze until firm; label and store.
