IngredientsTo make the vanilla ice-cream base:
1. Beat the egg yolks, sugar and vanilla extract using an electric mixer until pale. This aerates the eggs and makes for a lighter, fluffier ice cream.
2. Combine the egg-yolk mixture with the cream and milk, then pour into a saucepan. Cook over a low to medium heat until thickened. Alternatively, cook in a double boiler.
3. Allow the mixture to cool, then churn in an ice-cream machine until ready to serve. Makes 2 litres
To make the plum ice cream:
1. Make the ice-cream base.
2. Place the plums and sugar in a pan and simmer for 5 minutes, or until syrupy.
3. Allow the plums to cool completely, then purée until smooth. Fold the plums through the churned ice cream and freeze for 4 hours or until firm and ready to serve.
