    Recipe Introduction


    This is a cool version of a silky, smooothh
    vanilla treat. A friend brought me back some Vanilla extract & beans from Mexico that were so powerful, I found I only needed to use half of my usual measurements. Lately, I've begun to suspect
    that the Vanilla extract was actually a
    Vanilla Liquor. Is this possible??


    List of Ingredients




    2 cups whipping cream
    8 egg yolks
    1 1/4 cups sugar
    1 1/2 cups milk
    1 3 or 4 inch piece Vanilla bean (Mexican)
    1 teaspoons Vanilla extract - pure Mexican
    is what I prefer

    Recipe



    Put whipping cream in bowl, add vanilla bean,
    cover and chill at least 1 hour. Beat egg
    yolks and sugar until thick & creamy - they
    should form a ribbon, when the beaters or
    whisk are lifted. Add Vanilla extract to egg/
    sugar mixture. Scald milk. Gradually stir
    into egg/sugar mixture. Put in double
    boiler over simmering water. Cook slowly,
    stirring constantly with wooden spoon, for
    approximately 12 minutes until custard coats
    back of spoon. Cool thoroughly!

    Remove cream from fridge. Split vanilla bean
    and scrape seeds into cream Add to custard.
    Chill for at least 3-4 hours. Pour into
    ice-cream maker. (I use a Donvier) Freeze
    according to manufacturer's directions.
    Remove. Devour with bliss.
