Instructions to make Homemade Vanilla Bean Ice Cream:
  1. Add cream, milk, sugar, salt and vanilla beans/pod to a medium pot. Heat on low until sugar dissolves.
  2. Meanwhile beat egg yolks until creamy.
  3. Once sugar has dissolved, gradually mix in one third of the hot cream mixture into the beaten egg yolks. Add the egg yolk mixture back into the pot.
  4. Heat on low to medium-low heat, stirring often, until the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon and leave a clean line when you run your finger though it. It should only take a couple of minutes.
  5. Turn off heat. Cover the pot and let the vanilla steep for 30 minutes in the custard.
  6. After 30 minutes, strain the custard through a fine sieve to remove any eggy clumps and the vanilla pods.
  7. Let the custard cool then put into the refrigerator to chill for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  8. Pour into a plastic container and put into the freezer. Mix up well every hour to help break up the ice crystals and keep it creamy. After 3-4 hours the ice cream should be still soft bu just hard enough to eat! Alternatively, use your ice cream maker to finish up the ice cream.
  9. If you have left overs and they freeze until they're very hard, then set out the ice cream for 20-30 minutes to soften up before serving.

While I do recommend using real vanilla beans in they recipe, vanilla bean paste or vanilla extract could be substitutes. One thing that I like about this vanilla bean ice cream recipe is that it uses a real, honest-to-goodness vanilla bean.
