Berry Ice Cream
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 pint milk
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 vanilla bean-split
- 2 egg yolks
- 3/4 cup fresh mixed berries, blueberries, strawberries and other seasonal berries
- Combine the cream, milk, and sugar in a medium, heavy saucepan.
- Combine the flour and the water and whisk into the mixture.
- Scrape the seeds from the vanilla bean into the pan and add the vanilla bean halves.
- Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat.
- Remove from the heat.
- Beat the egg yolks in a medium bowl.
- Whisk 1 cup of the hot cream into the egg yolks.
- Gradually add the egg mixture in a slow, steady stream, to the hot cream.
- Cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon and reaches 170 degrees F. on an instant-read thermometer, about 5 minutes.
- Remove from the heat and strain through a fine mesh strainer into a clean container.
- Cover with plastic wrap, pressing down against the surface to keep a skin from forming.
- Chill in the refrigerator for 2 hours.
- With a food processor, chop the berries until fine.
- Set aside.
- Turn on the ice cream maker and pour in custard.
- When the ice cream is 3/4 ready, pour in the berries and finish freezing.
- Serve immediately.
