Method

  1. Pour the milk into a heavy based saucepan, add the vanilla pod, if using and slowly bring almost to
    the boil. Remove from the heat and leave to infuse. If using vanilla essence just heat the milk then stir in
    the vanilla essence. Remove vanilla pod.
  2. Place the egg yolks and sugar in the Kenwood Bowl and using the Whisk, whisk together until thick
    and creamy. Gradually whisk in the milk on minimum speed. Strain back into the pan.
  3. Cook over a low heat, stirring continuously, until thick enough to coat the back of a wooden spoon.
    Do not boil. Leave to cool then chill. Mix the vanilla custard and crème fraîche together.
  4. Place the Ice Cream Maker with the frozen bowl in position and switch to minimum speed. Pour the
    liquid ice cream mix through the feed tube and churn until it resembles freshly whipped cream.
  5. Serve immediately or place in a plastic container and keep frozen, until required. Soften slightly in the
    fridge or at room temperature, before serving.
