Only four ingredients and you've got proper homemade ice cream. Creamy, rich, and way better than anything from a tub.

Instructions

1
Split the vanilla pod lengthways with a sharp knife and scrape out the seeds.
2
Stir together the egg yolks, sugar, vanilla seeds and the pod in a glass or steel bowl, then set the bowl over hot water. Whisk constantly until the mixture starts to warm up and the sugar has dissolved.
3
Now beat the mixture — in a stand mixer or by hand — until it's completely cold and has turned into a pale, thick zabaglione. Fish out the vanilla pod.
4
Whip the cream to stiff peaks, then fold it into the egg mixture.
5
Pour the mixture into a suitable mould, cover with cling film and freeze for at least 4 hours.
6
Move the ice cream to the fridge about 20 minutes before you want to serve it.
7
Turn it out onto a plate or just serve straight from the mould — whatever works for you.
