Add milk, cream, vanilla seeds and bean to a heavy based saucepan; Stir, bringing to a very gentle simmer (77-80 C). Do not boil. Remove from heat and allow to steep* for 5-10 minutes.
Beat sugar and egg yolks until light and creamy.
Add a few tablespoons of heated milk mixture to the egg and sugar, whisk well. Continue whisking until the remaining milk mixture is combined. Return mixture to saucepan and stir over a medium heat until mixture is thickened and coats the back of a spoon.
Pour the mixture into the ice cream machine. Churn ice cream following manufacturers instructions.
Serve immediately with fresh strawberries & strawberry sauce, wafer sticks and chopped peanuts.
Or alternatively place ice cream in a clean plastic container with a lid and freeze until required.

Tips
For cookies and cream add 100g finely chopped Oreo cookies.
*Steep – Infuses and increases the flavour of vanilla in the ice cream
