RECIPE STEPS

Lightly whisk egg yolks in a bowl. Gently heat milk in a small saucepan over medium heat then pour over the eggs, stir well to combine. Set aside.

8 egg yolks
350 ml of full-cream milk

Place sugar and water in a saucepan over low heat and stir to dissolve sugar. Increase the heat to medium and cook until mixture begins to turn a rich golden colour. The water will evaporate & the sugar will begin to harden, this is normal. Keep stirring & it will eventually begin to melt and turn to a rich golden colour. Add vanilla bean and cook for a few seconds (don’t let the mixture get too dark or the ice cream will be very bitter)

250 g of castor sugar
2 tbsp of cold water
1 of vanilla bean, split

Very gently pour in the cream (it will splatter a little). Reduce heat to low and stir to melt lumps of caramel that have formed. When smooth, stir in egg mixture. Continue to cook, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens.
