 Slowly pour about half of the cream mixture into the eggs and whisk continuously so the egg yolks don't start cooking.  Then add the mixture back to the pan and continue cooking over medium heat.  The ice cream mixture needs to cook until it is thick enough to coat the back of a wooden spoon.

Pour the ice cream mix into a clean bowl and allow to sit until it reaches room temperature.  Then cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate over night.

Add the cold ice cream mix to an ice cream maker and follow the manufacturer's directions.  Transfer the ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for at least 2 hours before serving.
