Vanilla Ice Cream VII Recipe

In a heavy saucepan over medium heat combine cream and milk. Place vanilla bean and scrapings in pot and sprinkle with half the white sugar. Allow to just come to a boil.

Meanwhile whisk the egg yolks together with the remaining sugar and the vanilla extract in a bowl. When the cream is ready pour a third of it into the egg mixture and whisk. Pour egg mixture into remaining hot cream and return to the heat until mixture coats the back of a metal spoon. Do not boil.

Strain custard and chill until cold. Then pour into the canister of an ice cream maker and freeze according to manufacturer's instructions.
