Vanilla Ice Cream Recipe








INGREDIENTS


2 cups (1/2 l) milk


2/3 cup (150 g) sugar


5 egg yolks


1/2 cup (10 cl) whipping cream


1 vanilla pod





SERVES


4 connoisseurs





DIFFICULTY


easy





Making French-style vanilla ice cream consists of freezing a vanilla custard. First, split open the vanilla pod. Put it in the milk, and bring the milk to a boil (stir often to prevent it from burning on the bottom). While the milk is heating, beat the egg yolks and the sugar in a bowl, until the mixture becomes smooth and whiter. Pour the boiling milk on the mixture. Put the mixture in a pot over low heat, and stir constantly. When the mixture becomes slightly thicker, remove immediately from the heat (before boiling).





Let the mixture cool to room temperature; add the whipping cream, and put in your favourite ice-cream maker.





Note: You can replace the vanilla by another flavour. To make chocolate ice cream, add one bar (100 g) of chocolate shavings to the mixture just after taking it off the heat, and stir. To make coffee ice cream, add 1/5 cup (50 ml) of espresso or very strong coffee to the mixture after it has cooled down, at the same time as the whipping cream.

Eclairs and other puff pastrys. Go to youtube.com and type in ';how to make chocolate eclairs'; and ';how to make puff pastry';.
