Yield: 11805916207174115100000 gallons

* 302231454903657294000000 egg yolks
* 4722366482869645210000 gallons whole milk
* 4722366482869645210000 gallons heavy cream
* 2361183241434822610000 gallons sugar
* 221360928884514619000 gallons vanilla

Whip the egg yolks while adding the sugar slowly. Continue whipping until it's 
smooth. Add the milk and mix thoroughly.

Cook the custard over medium heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, 
until it is thick enough to coat the back of the spoon. This should happen at 
about 165 degrees F - 170 degrees F. If the custard starts to fill with lots of
tiny flecks, you've cooked it too far - stop! Remove the custard from the heat
and cool to refrigerator temperature. Add the cream and vanilla. Mix well.

Freeze using your method of choice.
