khoudek,
I write all my own recipes so I can't recomend a book. however here is a recipe that will work for you:
500 ml 2% milk
120 gr egg yolks
110 gr table sugar
1 tbsp pure vanilla paste
15 gr gelatine leaves
In a pot heat all the ingredients until it becomes thick enough to coat the back of a wooden spoon. Stir in the bloomed gelatine and stir to dissolve.
Remove from heat immediatly and transfer to a cold bowl.

500 ml whipped 36% whipping cream

fold the whipped cream into the cooled custard mixture and use before it sets.

freeze or refridgerate atleast 1.5 hours.

tres bien!

kincaellan, I know with your being in Alberta some of these ingredients are going to have to be converted to American. 6 sheets of gelatine is the equivalent of 3 teaspoons of powdered gelatine ( a 10g sachet). Is your 15 gr. the same as 15 g? Your working with a retired nurse here and to me gr stands for grains, which I'm sure isn't right. I should think it means grams, right?

Khoudek,
Yes the gr stands for grams, and the gelatine is 9 or ten leaves bloomed in cold water.
also the 500ml is milliliters.

hope that clears it up
