Ice cream

Just bought myself an ice cream maker and my first batch was lovely. Here is the recipe for Vanilla Ice cream

1/2 pint of double cream
1/2 pint of milk
3 egg yolks
2 teaspoons of vanilla extract
3 oz of sugar

Whisk the egg yolks and sugar together until creamy. Add the vanilla extract.
Heat the milk in a pan until hot then add to the egg yolks and whisk. Return to the pan and gently heat until thickened. Do not boil otherwise it may curdle. Add the double cream and stir. Allow to cool completely and then chill for a couple of hours. Pour into your ice cream maker and follow manufacturers instructions.
