Heiðar Örn

Ingredients

  • 3 egg yolks
  • 3 tbsp sugar
  • 1 vanilla pod
  • 1 cup double (heavy) cream
  • a tiny pinch of salt

Method

  1. Split the vanilla pod, scrape out the seeds and mix them into the sugar.
  2. Heat the cream well with the vanilla sugar, the salt and the vanilla pod.
  3. Whisk the egg yolks, but not too much.
  4. Slowly pour the hot cream into the yolks, whisking at half speed as you pour.
  5. Heat the mixture again over a medium heat (setting 6 on the hob), stirring well while it thickens. Don't let it boil.
  6. Remove the vanilla pod, cool the custard, pour it into an ice-cream container and freeze.
