- Slowly beat the hot half-and-half into the egg/sugar mixture.
- Pour the entire mixture back into the pan and place over low heat.
- Stir constantly with a whisk until the custard thickens slightly (be careful not to let the mixture boil or the eggs will scramble).

- Allow the custard to cool slightly, then stir in the cream and vanilla.
- Cover and refrigerate until cold or overnight.

- When done, the ice cream will be soft; for firmer ice cream, transfer to a freezer-safe container and freeze several hours.
