The process of making vanilla ice cream

1. Get your clean and dry pot. Pour the whipped cream and fresh milk into the pot.

2. You can then add the vanilla extract. In case you are making use of vanilla pod, pour everything (the fiber and the seeds) into the mixture of the whipping cream and fresh milk already in the pot.

3. Place the pot on a heating source and regulate the heat to medium heat. Allow to boil for a few minutes.

4. As the pot is on the fire, get an egg whisker and whisk the egg yolks properly. Pour enough sugar into the whisked egg yolk and stir until the sugar granules disappear.

5. Once the contents of the pot on the fire have begun to boil, reduce the heat further. In case you are using vanilla pods, this is the moment when you should pick out the fibers from the milk.

6. As a result of reducing the heat, the milky mixture will not foam as much as it used to before you reduced it. When the milk has stopped foaming, gently pour the egg yolk and sugar mixture into the boiled mixture in the pot. Stir it thoroughly to mix well.

7. You can then increase the heat to the initial medium state and continue to stir the mixture in the pot until it begins to thicken. Note that the time it takes to thicken is around ten minutes.

8. Once the mixture has thickened to your satisfaction, reduce the heat. Place the ice cubes in the larger bowl and add some water.

The thickened ice cream mixture should be poured into the second bowl and then placed (the second bowl) in the larger bowl containing the ice cubes and water. Get a spatula and stir the ice cream mixture till it cools down totally.

9. After the ice cream mixture has cooled down, place it (while still in the bowl) in the freezer. After about half an hour, bring it out and stir it with a spatula thoroughly and then place it back for another 30minutes.

Once you have obtained the desired texture of ice cream, you can begin to serve it. You can also decorate it with the ingredients for decoration (the honey, fruits or caramel).

11. After serving, the leftovers should be placed in a container and preserved in a freezer till when it is needed again. If left in the freezer for long enough, it might become rock solid.

All you have to do is place it on a clean surface for about 5 minutes in order for it to soften to the texture that is obtainable in those ice cream shops.
