If you have a food processor, homemade ice-cream is easy to make. Some types of blenders are powerful enough to make it, too. When you make frozen fruit desserts, you simply process frozen fruit with cream or yoghurt. You make this 'Vanilla Ice-cream' in the same way. By adding extra ingredients, you can create a variety of flavours. This time, I made 'Rum & Raisin' ice-cream.

Steps

1

Place Milk in a saucepan. Split the Vanilla Bean and scrape the seeds, and add seeds and the bean to the milk. Bring to the boil, then turn off the heat and set aside for 10 minutes. *Alternatively heat Milk and Vanilla Extract.
2

Place Egg Yolks and Sugar in a bowl, beat using a whisk until pale. Gradually pour the milk over, stirring, then return to the saucepan.
3

Cook over low heat, stirring, for 2-3 minutes until it is slightly thickened. When the custard is cool enough, freeze in ice trays.
4

Place frozen custard cubes in the food processor, pulse until coarsely chopped. Then start processing, gradually pour Cream through the feed tube, and process until smooth and creamy.
5

Serve immediately OR place in the freezer for 1-2 hours to firm up.
