Vanilla ice-cream base

Woolworths is committed to sustainability via our good business journey. Seasonal (and other) products might not always be in stock.

Ingredients

9 free-range egg yolks
200 g sugar
1 T vanilla paste
4 cups cream
1 cup milk

Cooking Instructions

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 doubleboiler.

3. Allow the mixture to cool, then churn in an ice-cream machine until ready to serve.
