How to Make Classic Vanilla Ice Cream
1. Boil the Milk: Cut the vanilla pod with a knife lengthwise and scrape out the seeds. Place the milk in a saucepan with the vanilla seeds and vanilla pod and heat over low heat until it comes to a boil.

2. Whip the egg yolks with the sugar until they are almost white. The purpose is to make them contain a lot of air, and the later heating will allow the heat to spread evenly

3. Mixing Egg Yolks and Milk: Add the boiled milk to the egg yolks in small quantities and whisk to combine. Adding it all at once tends to cook the yolks and make them lumpy and hard. The whole process I used an electric whisk to mix. And then beat it by hand at the end.
4. Heat the mixture: Pour the above mixture back into the pan and turn the heat on low. Stir from the bottom and heat slowly until thickened. The purpose of heating is to sterilize and remove the egg odor. However, if you overheat the mixture, it will solidify, so use your experience. You have to choose a pan with a thicker bottom, otherwise the yolks will be easily cooked.

5. Strain the mixture: using a sieve, strain the mixture into a large bowl.

6. Cooling: cool the mixture in a large bowl over ice water, and when it is roughly chilled, place it in the freezer for 3-4 hours. I freeze directly for 4 hours. Make sure to freeze it well, don't rush it. If you don't freeze it long enough, the ice cream won't solidify easily

7. Whip the whipped cream: After you finish freezing in step 6, start whipping the whipped cream and beat it until it reaches 7 pts. PS: It's nighttime, so the photo is not too good, so deal with it.

8. Mix Whipped Cream and Frozen: Pour the whipped cream into the frozen mixture and mix the two well with an electric appliance. Cover with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator to chill. This step can be done by roughly spooning the frozen stuff first, then mixing it with the whipped whipped cream more easily.

9. Freeze, Stir, Repeat: Remove the above mixture from the freezer when it's almost frozen, stir well with an electric mixer, and then put it back into the freezer, repeat this 2-3 times, and when it's smooth, put it straight into the freezer until it freezes. I put it in for about 40 minutes each time, *** stirring 3 times, the picture on the left is after the last stirring.
Tips
1, if you don't like the vanilla flavor, you can reduce the amount of vanilla pods
2, if you don't like the sweetness, you can reduce the amount of sugar by 20-30 grams
3, I couldn't get the fishy taste out of the ice cream. In the future, I will not answer the question, "Why does mine taste eggy?" No answer. Sensitive to egg smell can choose:
A, change the recipe reference
B, choose supermarket brand eggs
C, choose sterilized eggs
D, choose fresh eggs, not long time to leave the eggs
E, choose the commercially available ice cream
4, I have not yet purchased a ball digger, the flat spoon digging, the results are not good. If you don't have a scooper, you can try a large scoop in a measuring spoon to get a better result, or just hold the ice cream bucket and eat it.
