Steps:
- Put the canister from the machine into the freezer a day before you want to make the ice cream. Next day, pour the cream and milk into a medium heavy-based pan, then tip in half the sugar. Slit the vanilla pod down its length with a small sharp knife and scoop out as many of the tiny black seeds as you can into the cream mixture. Cut the pod into three and drop it into the pan.
- Heat the cream and milk over a low heat, stirring occasionally, until it almost boils - you'll see a few bubbles at the edge. Take off the heat and set aside for 30 minutes so the vanilla can infuse.
- Put the egg yolks into a bowl with the rest of the sugar and beat with an electric hand beater for about 2 minutes until the mixture has thickened, is paler in colour and falls in thick ribbons when you lift the beaters. Using a measuring jug, scoop out about 125ml/4fl oz of the cream mixture and beat into the egg yolks to slacken them. Reheat the cream until it just comes to the boil, take off the heat and stir in the egg yolk mixture.
- Return the pan to a low heat and cook, stirring all the time with a wooden spoon, for 8-10 minutes, until the custard is thick enough to coat the back of the spoon. Watch that it doesn't boil - as soon as you see any bubbles about to burst to the surface, it should be thick enough, so take the pan off the heat so the mixture doesn't curdle.
- Pour the custard into a heatproof bowl, then sit it in a bigger bowl one third full of iced water to cool (this takes about 20 minutes). Stir occasionally to stop a skin forming. Put the bowl of custard in the fridge for 3-4 hours, preferably overnight, so it gets really cold.
- Get the ice cream machine running, scoop out the vanilla pod pieces, then slowly pour in the cold custard. Leave it to churn for 10-30 minutes (depending on your machine). When it stops, it is probably too soft to eat, so spoon into a plastic container, cover with cling film, then a lid, and freeze for a minimum of 3 hours. (It will keep in the freezer for 3 months but don't take it out, then refreeze.) Remove from the freezer 15 minutes before serving.
- To make it by hand: in step 1, heat the milk, vanilla, and half the sugar without the cream (the custard will be slightly thicker). At the start of step 6, whip the cream so it's light and floppy, not too stiff, and fold it into the cold custard. Freeze for 3-4 hours, stirring once an hour until almost frozen, then freeze as above.

BEST EVER VANILLA ICE CREAM
This ice cream is technically a custard since it contains eggs. After lots of testing (and tasting), I've found that eggs are the key to making a smooth and creamy ice cream at home that rivals what you can get at a premium ice cream shop. -Peggy Woodward, Taste of Home Senior Food Editor

HOMEMADE ICE CREAM SANDWICHES
Meet the Cook: My mom sent me this recipe. We love it, and so does company I serve it to. I inherited my love of cooking from my mother. She's a former home economics teacher. When we were growing up, each of us five kids had a night a week when we planned and prepared supper for the rest of the family. Our home is "way out in the sticks", 15 miles from town and 5 miles from the nearest neighbor. My husband and I have a son, 20, and a daughter, 17. -Kea Fisher, Bridger, Montana

THE VERY BEST VANILLA ICE CREAM
This recipe is my mom's. She got it when she was in college studying to be a Home Economist (which she has been for over 40 years now). We've tried different recipes over the years, but we ALWAYS come back to this one. The secret, I think, is the flavoring. The vanilla, butter & nut flavoring makes it out of this world rich. It's not for anyone counting calories and when adding the milk, I do use 2% instead of whole milk.

Author Joey Skladany
- Tillamook Vanilla Bean Ice Cream. Tillamook boasted the creamiest, most decadent vanilla ice cream of the lot. Everything about this gallon deserves fanfare, including its commitment to using pure, basic ingredients.
- Haagen-Dazs Vanilla Bean Ice Cream. If you’re a vanilla bean ice cream traditionalist, Haagen-Dazs will be your favorite. It absolutely had the strongest vanilla taste with bean flecks scattered throughout.
- Ben & Jerry’s Vanilla Ice Cream. This is a no-frills, high-quality vanilla ice cream and the perfect foundation to any sundae, ice cream sandwich or milkshake.
- Breyer’s Homemade Vanilla Ice Cream. The flavor of this wasn’t bad, but it also wasn't jump-up-and-down-screaming-about-how-good-it-is good. It was actually the least sweet on this list, making it ideal for adding other sugar-laden elements like the aforementioned caramel and whipped cream, but I wasn’t a fan of its consistency, which was more like ice milk instead of frozen cream.
- Edy’s Slow-Churned Classic Vanilla Ice Cream. In Edy’s defense, this slow-churned variety is marketed as having half the fat — and it sure tasted that way.
