directions

  • Whisk yolks with sugar and salt in a large bowl. Set aside.
  • Split vanilla bean lengthwise and scrape out seeds. Don't discard seeds.
  • Combine beans, seeds, half and half and cream in a large saucepan. Bring just to a simmer (don't scorch the milk!).
  • Gradually whisk the hot cream into the egg yolk mixture (don't get carried away or you'll end up with cooked eggs -- ick).
  • Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens and coats the back of a spoon (DO NOT BOIL!).
  • Strain through a seive into a large bowl. Refrigerate until thoroughly chilled.
  • Freeze in icecream maker according to manufacturer's directions. Makes 1 quart.
