Executive Chef/Co-Owner, Westside Creamery Yield: about 1 1/2 quarts 1 cup milk pinch salt 3/4 cup sugar 1 vanilla bean 5 egg yolks 2 cups heavy whipping cream Blueberries (recipe included) Crumble (recipe included) Heat milk, salt and sugar in a saucepan over low heat. Split vanilla bean lengthwise and scrape seeds into milk. Add bean pod to milk. Remove from heat and let sit, covered, for 1 hour. Re-warm milk mixture over low heat. Whisk egg yolks in a bowl and gradually add small amounts of warmed milk, whisking constantly. Pour tempered yolks into the saucepan with warm milk and cook over low heat, stirring constantly until custard thickens enough to coat the spoon. (See Crème Brulée Ice Cream recipe on page 28 for tempering and "nappé" references.) Strain custard into heavy cream. Chill mixture 8 hours or overnight, then freeze in ice cream maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Add Blueberries and Crumble to the ice cream at the very end of the churning process, before putting the completed mixture into the freezer.
