Hand made ice cream / Gelato fatto a mano

My friends today was so hot that I desired to make a vanilla ice cream and then I filled with some chocolate chip cookies! Try it because it's very good and does not serve the ice cream maker!

Ingredients:

500ml of milk

125gr of sugar

4 egg yolks

1 vanilla pod

1 pinch of salt

Method:

Put in a saucepan the milk, the vanilla and salt and heat but do not boil. Let stand for 15min.

Meanwhile, the milk rests put the egg yolks and sugar together and whisk until mixture is light and smooth. Now add the warm milk to eggs stirring with a wooden spoon.

Bring everything on low heat and always turn cause must not attack and should not do lumps. Stir until you get the consistency of a smooth cream. Remove from heat just begins to simmer and let cool passing the ice cream into a container and put in the freezer for a couple of hours.

As I said once I made the ice cream I then decided to fill some chocolate cookies. So let a little soften the ice cream and then cover a biscuit then place another cookie on top.

Wrap it all in plastic wrap, pressing well and frozen for at least half an hour.
