"This is my absolute favourite and go-to vanilla ice cream. It isn't fancy at all but is a perfect treat for any time and pairs well with any topping. Sometimes I sub. the vanilla extract for vanilla bean paste, it is great either way."

Step by Step Method
Step 1
In a large saucepan, whisk together brown sugar and eggs.
Step 2
Add in the milk, cream and vanilla, whisk together well.
Step 3
Transfer saucepan to the stove and on medium-low heat simmer the mixture, stirring constantly until it begins to thicken, about 5 minutes.
Step 4
Do not allow it to boil.
Step 5
Note: I use a wooden spoon in the above step and you can tell the custard is thick enough when it coats the back of the spoon and a clear path is left when you run your finger through it.
Step 6
Remove from heat and transfer to a bowl (I use a heat-proof glass bowl,) whisk custard vigorously for about a minute then place in the fridge until completely cool. I usually leave it for 4 or more hours.
Step 7
When completely cool, make according to ice cream freezer instructions.
