Vanilla Ice Cream

8 egg yolks

1 cup sugar

¼ teaspoon coarse salt

2 cups lactose free milk

1 vanilla bean

2 cups cream

In a medium saucepan off the heat whisk together the egg yolks, 1 cup sugar, and salt.  Whisk in the milk.  Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and coats the back of a spoon. 

Remove from heat. Split the vanilla bean lengthwise and scrape the seeds. Add the bean and seeds to the milk mixture. Cover and let stand for 30 minutes.

Pour through a fine mesh sieve. Stir in the cream.

Divide evenly into 4 Ninja Creami pints and freeze overnight.

When ready to serve, spin the frozen custard on the ice cream setting.

Yields 3 pints.
