Basic ice cream
---------------
10 egg yolks
10 ounces sugar
4 & 1/2 cups boiling milk
Beat the eggs and sugar over hot water until the mixture is thick enough
to leave a trail.
Add the milk very slowly and stir over gentle heat until the mixture is
thick enough to coat the back of the spoon. Be very careful the mixture
does not boil or it will curdle, stir occasionally while cooking.
Pour into mould and freeze, after 1 hour or when the ice cream is frozen
1 inch thick around the edge of the container re mix and set to freeze
again.
It may just be me but while i can heat & cook things in metal if i store
them in metal it gives them a metallic taste to me, so i use a glass
loaf pan to freeze the ice cream.
vanilla and strawberry ice cream
--------------------------------
prepare the vanilla ice cream as above and add 3/4 pints of strawberry
puree and 1/4 pint cream. Freeze in the usual way.
Some times various fruit flavoured liquors, like cherry brandy are used
to 'macreate' the fresh fruit to flavour the ice creams.
Chocolate ice cream
-------------------
prepare a chocolate sauce and add to the partly frozen vanilla ice cream.
The flavourings are endless, coffee, tea, asparagus, garlic, violet,
rose, mint chcolate chip etc. etc.
Biscoti or other cookies are often soaked in various liquors and added
to the ice cream.
