ice cream recipie

just seen this on ice cream recipies youve got to try this one. My partner is a talented amateur chef and he made this one up... its soo nice and realy easy to make.
Jay’s ice cream

Ingredients

400g bar of Cadburys or galaxy chocolate

500 ml single cream

Caster sugar to taste (probably about 1-2 oz)

Gently heat the chocolate in a bowl over a saucepan with a little water in it. Make sure the water doesn’t touch the bottom of the bowl, just the steam. When the chocolate is nearly melted but still has a few lumps in it take it off the heat and continue stirring gently until all melted.

Allow the melted chocolate to cool down to room temperature.

In another, larger, bowl gently whisk the cream and sugar together to dissolve the sugar. Make sure the chocolate has cooled then add it very slowly and gently mixing carefully the whole time you are adding.
When all chocolate has been added and mixed, then whisk until you get the whipped texture you desire.

Dispense into individual or one big serving dish and freeze until solid.

(We use Ramekin dishes which take about 2-3 hours to freeze)

Variations

Vanilla ice cream- Use double cream instead of single and method above but obviously without chocolate and add a few drops of vanilla essence (extract comes out too strong) at the end.

We have put all sorts of things in it. Here are just a few. Let your imagination run ….

Malteasers- try adding a few Malteasers to it before it sets.

Grated chocolate or chocolate chips mixed in just before it goes to into bowls.

Fresh garden mint chopped finely and mixed in just before it goes into bowls gives a lovely fresh minty flavour. Add grated chocolate for mint choc chip…

Raspberry Ripple- Use raspberry coulis bought from supermarkets (Waitrose have it) With a cooks syringe bought from cook shop inject some raspberry coulis into ice cream once in bowls and swirl to create ripple effect.

Above all enjoy

Thank you for taking the time to give us that recipe Country Girl. I'm pretty competent on soups, starters, fish , and mains but sweets I have always been quite week on - probably because it's not my favourite course and so gets less attention - selfish or what? Well yes, just selfish! This one sounds just lovely and easy. That's for me. Thank you for it.

If I had ago at making this ice cream in dish,would it need stirring part way through freezing? Sounds delicous.I've not been on recipe threads before,cos I'm not really one for cooking much(only my veg gets special treatment from me),but I might give this a go.

yummy ice cream recipies

I have been reading all your lovely ice cream recipies and am tempted to buy an ice cream maker. I am willing to spend up to £50, can anyone recommend a make. Have been looking on the internet but there are loads of different types. Dont mind spending the money if it works properly. Thanks

[country girl]

no , no need to stir, just put in dishes and leave to freeze. Simple, no machine no stiring, no eggs.. just great tasting ice cream! enjoy

lynnew, there are basically two types of ice-cream maker. the expensive ones with a freezer unit which cost about £200, these are only suitable if you make tons of ice cream and have the space to leave them out as they react badly to being moved. the cheap ones work with a gel that stays very cold for long enough to complete the process for one batch of ice cream. these cost between twenty and thirty pounds. They all much of a muchness, I would tend to go for a magimix or other well known make.

I've got a recipe for Coconut Ice cream somwhere, I'll dig it out & post it here.

I like to make ice cream with more exotic flavours. After trying cinnamon ice cream on holiday in Paris, I tried to make some myself. Turned out wonderful. Mango ice cream is also lovely. Try serving it with a passion fruit sauce. Simply pass the passion fruit pulp through a sieve, discard the seeds and add a little sugar, sweetener or honey, if desired. Lime or ginger also goes well with mango.

one more to add to the list to try when you get your machine is guinness ice cream - v popular in Trinidad! And very nice too -there are loads of recipes on line if you google for it!! Try freecycle for an icr cream maker - there always seems to be someone giving one away for free...

How about ice creams based upon other deserts? You can make the basic ice cream as per country girl's recipe and add the following for different deserts:

Chocolate brownie: cocoa powder, chocolate chips
Cheesecake: crumbled digestive biscuit, any fruit you want (for example, strawberries, lemon, lime for Key Lime Pie etc).
Chocolate Orange: cocoa powder, melted chocolate, orange juice, orange rind
Jam/Golden Syrup Sponge: sponge cake pieces, jam/golden syrup
Banoffee Pie: banana, toffee chunks, toffee sauce
Rocky Road: chocolate chips, marshmallows, chocolate sauce, crumbled biscuits, muffin pieces
Carribean Delight: banana, rum, raisins, coconut
Baked Apple: apple, cinnamon, raisins, honey
Summer Pudding: blueberries, strawberries, blackberries, blackcurrents, sponge pieces
Black Forest Gateaux: black cherries, chocolate chips, cream, chocolate sponge pieces, a splash of Kirsch cherry liquer (if you want)
Pina Colada: pineapple puree, coconut milk, grated coconut, rum (I actually tried this in Spain. Yum!)
Tiramisu: coffee, cocoa powder, sponge fingers

Just some ideas. Maybe you could make it with your favourite desserts?

Once the Guinness has reduced place in a cold container and place in the freezer until cold (if it is too warm it may curdle the egg yolks)
While the Guinness is simmering, place the egg yolks cream, castor sugar and vanilla essence into a glass or stainless steel bowl and whisk until thickened.

I also found this on line -but have yet to try it!

Tomato Ice Cream

Given the flavours involved with this ice cream it is suggested as an accompaniment to a cheese based dessert!
