Preparation Time

10 minutes

Cooking Time

5 minutes

Ingredients (serves 6)

• 2 tsp powdered gelatine
• 60ml (1/4 cup) cold water
• 1 x 375ml light & creamy evaporated milk (Carnation brand)
• 1 vanilla bean, split
• 80ml (1/3 cup) light thickened cream

Method

• 1. Sprinkle gelatine over the water in a small heatproof jug. Place jug in a small saucepan of simmering water and whisk with a fork until gelatine dissolves. Set aside for 2 minutes to cool slightly.
• 2. Combine evaporated milk and vanilla bean in a medium saucepan and bring to the boil over medium heat. Remove from heat and stir in gelatine mixture. Set aside for 15 minutes to cool.
• 3. Use an electric beater to whisk the cream in a small bowl until frothy.
• 4. Use tongs to remove the vanilla bean from the milk mixture. Use a sharp knife to scrape seeds from vanilla bean into the milk mixture. Discard bean. Use an electric beater to whisk the milk mixture in a large bowl until frothy. Gradually pour in cream and whisk until combined.
• 5. Pour mixture into a 2L (8-cup) capacity shallow metal container. Cover with foil and place in the freezer for 3 hours or until just set.

Roughly break up ice-cream with a large metal spoon and transfer to a bowl. Beat with an electric beater until smooth and doubled in size. Quickly return to container. Cover with foil and freeze for another 4 hours or until firm.
