Ice Cream:

As the mixture thickens, stir almost continuously until it is thick enough to coat the back of the spoon.

Reduce the temperature of the custard quickly, by pouring it into a chilled bowl. Leave the custard to cool, and then chill it in the fridge. Churn in Ice Cream machine as per manufactures instructions.
