Creamy Traditional Ice-cream (with dairy free option)

Who doesn’t love ice-cream!  This is my “go to” dessert when I feel like a little something after a meal.  I make it almost every fortnight – if not sooner – and always have some in the freezer.  When the kids make their smoothies they use a big spoonful, and when you have made it yourself and know the minimal ingredients that are in it, then it is a pleasure to eat.

The next time you are at the supermarket, take a moment to read the usual ingredients that are included in a commercial ice-cream … it may give you a surprise!  It is so easy to make yourself, I can only encourage you to have a try …

Start this recipe at least the day before you need it to allow sufficient freezing time.

If you wish to give the ice-cream a caramel flavour, substitute the golden caster sugar or raw sugar for 120g light muscovado sugar (or brown sugar), or for a deeper caramel flavour, use 120g dark muscovado sugar (or dark brown sugar).

Serves: Approx. 800g

Ingredients

• 150g golden caster sugar or raw sugar
• 2 egg yolks (freeze the whites for later use)
• 600g full fat cream (I use Bannister Downs if I can get it), or for dairy free use coconut cream (I use Ayam brand)
• 1 tsp vanilla bean paste (or extract if you don't like the look of the black dots in the paste)
• 1 tsp sea salt flakes, or ½ tsp fine sea salt
  

Instructions

1. Place all the ingredients into TM bowl and cook 8 minutes / 80 / speed 4
2. Put mix into a container ... leave it at room temperature to cool for about an hour, then put into the fridge until it is cold (about another hour)
3. Place container in the freezer for 8 hours, or preferably overnight
4. Remove container from the freezer and let it sit for 20 to 25 minutes on the bench to soften so that you can get a spoon into it (set a timer so you don’t forget it!)
5. Spoon the mix into the TM bowl and blend 20 seconds / speed 9, and then 10 seconds / speed 4
6. Return the mix to a container and refreeze for another 8 hours or overnight before serving
