Ice cream recipes?

A gadget not to be without - Magimix ice-cream maker (cost about £30).

Just making raspberry ice cream, with frozen berries, hope its as yummy as the strawberry ice cream we make!!!

Anyone got any good frozen dessert/ ice-cream maker recipes?

I decided to invest in an ice cream maker after finding some lovely ice cream recipes! Wow does it taste good! Mine is taken from the Famers Weekly book of receipes:

4 eggs 4 oz castor sugar 1/2 pint double cream and vanilla essence.
Seperate eggs. Whisk whites until stiff, whisking in sugar one teaspoon at a time. Beat egg yoks fold into mixture add vanilla to taste. Whip cream until thick, fold into mixture. Freeze serves 6

Ive just bought the Philips machine. Made my first lot tonight and it was great. So much smoother then I usually make and quick, no in and out of the freezer for beating. Im hooked
Just wondering how it stores, if it stays as smooth if you make a load and put it in the freezer.

[smallblueplanet]

Not sure how it'll store especially with 'fresh' ingredients, ours never lasts longer than a week or so!

C'mon I'm collecting...post your fave recipe!

I use the same recipe all the time and add things to it.
Apricots & amaretto
Lemon curd and broken meringues
Coffee
Crushed choc digestives
Tin Raspsberrys with the syrup boiled down and rippled through

Make custard with 4egg yolk, 1/2pt milk, 3oz caster sugar chill and add 1/2pt whipped whipping cream.
Add extras at last beating. Useing the machine, I'm going to try adding them near the end of the mixing time or after its finished.

I'm not a great ice cream eater but make loads of sorbet. You need a basic sugar syrup, 300ml water + 300g sugar, boil for two minutes. I then add pureed fruit or juice, about equal amounts. Its really quick and tastes great. I do Lemon, orange and grapefruit with juice and pineapple, raspberry and strawberry with puree. I'm hoping to have enough currants this year to use them.

Have just tried conserved ginger ice cream - ooh but it is moreish! Want to try sorbets next as they are probably not as fattening as ice cream!

I made red grapefruit sorbet last night to eat with strawberries that I macerated in sugar and brandy, it was lovely.
Heat 300g sugar in 300ml water making sure the sugar dissolves before the water boils. Bring to the boil and boil for 2 minutes. Chill in fridge. Add the chilled juice of three ruby grapefruit then churn in the machine. Just before its frozen add a lightly beaten white of egg. hmmmm..........
