1. Creamy Vanilla Ice Cream

1️⃣ In a saucepan, heat the milk with half the sugar and the vanilla bean (split and seeds scraped). Do not boil, just simmer. Let infuse for 10 minutes off the heat.

2️⃣ Meanwhile, beat the egg yolks with the remaining sugar until the mixture whitens.

3️⃣ Gradually pour the hot milk mixture over the egg yolk mixture, whisking constantly (be careful, we want a cream, not a sweet omelette! 1f605).

4️⃣ Return everything to the saucepan and thicken over low heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until the cream coats the back of the spoon.

5️⃣ Let cool completely before adding the chilled heavy cream and mixing.

6️⃣ Place the mixture in an ice cream maker and churn until you get a creamy consistency. No ice cream maker? Pour the mixture into a container, place in the freezer, and whisk every 30 minutes for 3 hours to prevent ice crystals.

2. Strawberry Coulis

1️⃣ Blend the strawberries with the sugar and lemon juice until you get a smooth coulis.

2️⃣ Strain if you want a very fluid coulis (optional but it makes it more pro 1f929).

3️⃣ Refrigerate.

3. Assembly and Tasting 1f60d

1️⃣ In a pretty bowl, place scoops of vanilla ice cream.

2️⃣ Generously pour the strawberry coulis over the top.

3️⃣ Add a few fresh raspberries, blueberries, and dark chocolate shavings for the final touch!

4️⃣ Enjoy immediately (or freeze until serving time).
