In a bowl, whisk the egg yolks with sugar until pale and thick. Set aside.
-
Using a heavy bottom sauce pan, combine milk and cream. Cook over medium heat and stir every once in a while. Cook until tiny bubbles appear around the edges (do not boil).
-
Temper the egg yolks, by pouring half of the heated milk into the bowl and whisking vigorously and continuously. This is to prevent curdling.
-
Put back the egg-milk mixture into the sauce pan and continue cooking and stirring over low heat. You will know if your ice-cream base is ready when it is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. If you run your finger across the spoon, the custard should not run. Strain through a fine wire mesh and let it cool down.
-
Add chosen flavour and mix well. Chill overnight.
