Ice - cream recipes please.

[MaggsS]

Have just got an ice-cream maker from Freecycle but it had no instructions / recipes.

Anyone help?

Make egg custard (any recipe will do) plenty sweet enough, as sugar "disappears" in ice-cream. Flavour with vanilla, or cardomon (goes well with apple), or rum n raisin (soak raisins in rum and add to vanilla ice-cream after churning before turning into tub), or chocolate (melt dark choc into cream/milk before adding the eggto make the custard).
I also make sorbets in mine - cooked pureed fruit and sugar.
What are you doing mumsnetting about icecream makers at 6.30 in the morning?

2 year old that like to get up at 4.45am

Thanks for the ideas. We love ice-cream here

Don't forget that the bowl needs to be put in the freezer for 24 hours or so before you start making the mixture (presuming you haven't acquired a very expensive Magimix ice cream maker)

Maggs, I was cleaning sick up at that time this a.m. - how loverly!

No it's one that needs to go in the freezer.

Happy to report no sick today, just diahrrea (sp?).

Ice-cream without the maker is frozen blackcurrant mousse without the gelatine - yum if you have access to blackcurrants - frozen or fresh. Just need them, pureed and sieved and egg whites, sugar and whipped cream.
