CUSTARD ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Pour the single cream into a medium saucepan. Slit the vanilla pod lengthways with a sharp knife and place it in the pan. Set the heat to medium and heat the cream until it just starts to steam a little. Switch off the hob and let the saucepan sit there. The heat will draw the vanilla flavour into the cream.
• Meanwhile, whisk the egg yolks with the sugar for a minute, until they turn thick and a little paler.
• Pour the saucepan of hot cream into the sugary egg mixture and whisk again until smooth. Pour it all back into the saucepan.
• With the heat set very low, stir the creamy mixture constantly with a wooden spoon so it doesn't stick to the base of the pan but heats slowly and evenly. To see if the custard has heated enough, check from time to time with this classic test: take the spoon out of the custard and look at the back of it. The film of custard on the spoon should look noticeably creamier. Draw your finger across the back of the spoon and, if the line stays clear and distinct, your custard has thickened enough.
• Turn off the heat and carry the saucepan over to the work surface. Carry on stirring for a few more seconds so the cooking process is halted and the custard starts to cool down. Strain the custard through a sieve into a jug.
• As soon as the custard has cooled to room temperature, put the jug in the fridge for half an hour, then stir in the double cream. Either pour the mixture into an ice cream machine and churn it until it freezes or pour it into a plastic food container.
• Freeze it for about an hour or until the sides start to get solid. When this happens, mash up the mixture with a fork, mixing the frozen sides into the liquid centre. Put it back in the freezer straight away for another hour. Repeat this twice more at hourly intervals and then let the ice cream set.

• Heat to 180 degrees, stirring constantly.
• The custard should coat the back of a spoon.
• Do NOT allow the mixture to boil.
• Immediately stir in the cream and evaporated milk.
• Strain through a siever into a glass or metal bowl and chill in an ice bath or allow to come to room temperature, then chill until cold.
• Freeze in an ice cream maker.
• Please note: If you like a lot of zest and are good at custards, it is not necessary to strain the mixture.
• I would recommend zesting with a microplane grater in that case.
• Sugar can be reduced for a more tart product, but add about 1TB of vodka at the end to keep it from freezing too hard.

COCONUT VANILLA CUSTARD ICE CREAM - LOW CARB AND DAIRY-FREE

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan set over medium-low heat, whisk together the coconut milk, coconut oil, truvia, and salt. Bring the mixture just to a boil.
• While the coconut mixture is heating, whisk the egg yolks until pale and aerated.
• Once the coconut mixture has come to a slight boil, whisk about 1/3 of the mixture into the yolks.
• Add another 1/3 of the mixture to the yolks, whisking quickly, then return the combined mixture to the saucepan.
• Using a wooden spoon, stir the mixture constantly over low heat until it thickens slightly and coats the back of the spoon, about 2-3 minutes. Do not boil or the eggs can coagulate.
• Pour the mixture through a fine mesh strainer and bring to room temperature. Stir in the vanilla extract.
• Cover and refrigerate overnight in the lowest part of your refrigerator.
• Follow your ice cream makers instructions to freeze your ice cream. With my Cuisinart, I pour the mixture into the frozen freezer bowl and let it mix until thickened, about 20 minutes. This is a good time to serve it. If you have leftovers or will not eat it right after fabricating, transfer the ice cream to an airtight container and place in the freezer. When you do serve it, let it sit out for about 20 minute to soften slightly.
