Ben & Jerry’s Homemade Vanilla Ice Cream

1 C. milk
1 vanilla bean
1 egg
2 egg yolks
¾ C. sugar
2 C. heavy cream

Pour milk into a small saucepan. Split the vanilla bean in half lengthwise and scrape the tiny seeds into the milk. Add the empty pod and heat the mixture over a low flame until just below boiling.
Set aside to cool.
Beat the egg and egg yolks at high speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Gradually add the sugar, beating until mixture thickens. Lower the speed and mix in the cooled milk. Remove the pod and add the cream. Chill then pour into an ice cream maker and freeze according to manufacturer’s instructions.
