• Put about 2 inches of water in the bottom of the double boiler and bring to a boil.
• Put the gelatin and the cold water in the top pot of the double boiler. Let the gelatin soften for 5 minutes away from the stove.
• Meanwhile, pour the milk into the small saucepan and place it over medium low heat. When tiny bubbles form around the edge of the pot, the milk is ready.
• To the gelatin in the top pot of the double boiler add the hot milk, sugar, corn syrup, flour, and salt. Place over the bottom pot containing the boiling water.
• Stir constantly with the wooden spoon until the mixture thickens- about 15 minutes.

• Pour the hot ice cream mixture through a wire strainer into the other large mixing bowl.
• When the ice cream mixture has cooled to room temperature, beat it with the electric mixer until it is light and creamy - about 5 minutes.
• In the chilled large mixing bowl whip the cold whipping cream with the electric mixer until it falls in large globs and forms a soft peak.
• Rinse the beaters thoroughly with hot water. Then beat the egg white until it is stiff and glossy but not dry.
• Very gently with the rubber spatula, fold first the whipped cream, then the egg white into the ice cream mixture. Gently stir in the vanilla.
