Once you realise how easy it is to make this ice cream you can then experiment and add what ever you like. Basic Vanilla Ice Cream Ingredients
6 egg yolks
110g caster sugar
50ml water
a few drops of vanilla essence.
225 ml double cream 1. Whisk up the egg yolks in a mixer until firm and pale and have trebled in size (about 8 minutes.) 2. Put the sugar and water in a small saucepan and bring to the boil. Drizzle the boiling sugar into the eggs while continuing to whisk the eggs. The heat of the sugar will cook the eggs. Continue to whisk for a further 2-3 mins. 3. Empty the fluffy eggs into a large bowl. 4. Clean out the mixing bowl and whisk up the cream until it is at soft peaks. Fold it into the eggs trying not to break any of the bubbles. 5. Add any other ingredients that you want to flavour the ice cream. Transfer the ice cream to a container and freeze. Caramel Banana Ice Cream Use brown sugar instead of caster sugar when making the syrup for the eggs. Puree two very ripe bananas and fold into the ice cream at the end. Lemon Curd and Meringue Ice Cream Reduce the sugar by 50g when making the syrup. Fold in half a jar of lemon curd and some crushed meringues before freezing the iIce cream. As you can see once you have the basic ice cream then the sky is the limit! |
