Pour everything back into a clean pan, return to a low heat and cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring all the time with a wooden spoon, until the custard is thick enough to coat the back of the spoon. Make sure it doesn’t boil or you will have lumpy ice cream.

Pour the custard through a fine sieve into a bowl, keep stirring every now and then to stop a skin forming. Chill to make sure it is completely cold, putting cling film directly on the surface of the custard to prevent a skin from forming.

If you don’t have an ice cream machine pour the custard into the container and freeze. Every 2-3 hours, take the mixture out of the freezer and give it a stir. Once it is softly set, beat it well with electric beaters, then freeze solid. It will keep in the freezer for 3 months. Remove from the freezer 15 minutes before serving to allow it to get soft enough to scoop.
