Vanilla bean ice cream is on the first one of my favorite ice cream list. Original, original, original. Oy… Every time I eat vanilla bean ice cream I would scream loud that why it is so nice to eat! Full milk fragrance with smooth taste, that’s what vanilla bean ice cream brings to me!
This time I would make vanilla bean ice cream with my ice cream maker, and I take reference of a french pastry master’s recipe, so cool. He is a person I respect a lot, he has put all his wisdom into the dessert making, I wonder how far he could go since I’ve known him well, er…only from his recipe books! Expecting my screaming vanilla bean ice cream!

2.Milk into a pot and bring to light boil, remove the heat, cover with a pot cover, braise for 10 minutes.(in order to melt the flavor of vanilla into the milk)

PS: If you haven’t an ice cream maker, don’t worry, at the very step of mixing the light cream and the British sauce well, take out every 2 hours in the course of freezing, and stir it using a spoon, 4 times in all.(If not stir, the ice cream would be hard with a lot of ice crystals )
