Firstly cut down the two vanills pods with a sharp knife then scrape out all the seeds with the back of your knife. put it to one side. Make a simple custard by pouring the cream into a sauce pan with the beaten egg yolks, sugar vanilla pods. Put this on the cooker and heat on a medium heat stirring frequently to prevent the bottom burning. You need to bring this almost to the boil but not quite. This ensures the egg is cooked into the mixture and the sugar has all dissolved. Pour into a cold jug and leave to cool down take out the vanilla pod skins but leave in the seed to keep the a vanilla flavour. When cool put the mix in your Ice Cream Maker, following the manufacturer's recipe timing. Alternatively you can freeze it in the freezer but Ice Cream makers freeze more quickly producing smaller ice crystals.
