Gently heat the milk and cream until just before boiling point. Add the NOMU Vanilla and leave to infuse for 10 minutes.

Beat the egg yolks and caster sugar in a separate bowl until pale. Pour the hot mixture slowly into the egg mixture, stirring constantly. Return the mixture to the pot and place back on the heat. Cook very gently, stirring constantly until the mixture coats the back of a wooden spoon.

Cool completely, then churn in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions until firm.

Tips: For a quick-fix dessert, place a generous scoop of ice cream in individual bowls and serve with a shot of steaming espresso and a shot of grappa. The perfect indulgent pick-me-up at the end of an evening!
