Vanilla Ice-cream

This is a variation of the vanilla pudding. This is easier than the pudding with one less ingredient, gelatin. We do not need the pudding consistency, all we need to do is to freeze the custard and serve. This is an old fashioned kind of home-made ice-cream. This wont be so creamy as the usual ice-creams. This can be made creamy by adding some milk-maid into it.
