Bring the milk to the boil in a large pan. Whisk the
egg yolks with the caster sugar in a heatproof bowl
until pale and thick, then stir in the hot milk.

Place the bowl over a pan of simmering water and

thickens to coat the back of a wooden spoon. Leave
to cool.

Stir in the vanilla essence and freeze
the mixture in its bowl for 1 hour.

Meanwhile, mix

Break into

a 1.5 liter/2 1/2pt ring mould, slide it into a

Shortly before

until blended, then leave to cool. Remove the
ice-cream from the freezer and invert on to a large
serving plate.

Remove the mould carefully. Heap
raspberries in the centre of the ice-cream and
drizzle the whisky sauce over the top over the top.
