1.Pour milk, cream and vanilla into a large saucepan and bring to a simmer.

2.Whisk egg yolks with brown sugar, until mixture is thick and pale.

3.Slowly add the hot milk mixture to the eggs, one ladle-full at a time, whisking continuously until all the cream has been added.

4.Pour the mixture back into the pot and cook over low heat for just a few minutes longer until the mixture thickens and coats the back of a spoon.

5.Strain through a fine mesh strainer.

6.Cool and then chill thoroughly.

7.It is best to make the ice cream base the day before freezing so it has a chance to thoroughly chill.

8.Pour into a commercial ice cream maker and follow the manufacturer's instructions for freezing.
