I've adapted that recipe and come up with this:


200g dark chocolate
200g sugar
400ml milk
400ml cream 
2 egg yolks

blitzs chocolate and sugar on speed 9  for  20 seconds
add the rest of the ingredients and cook on 70c speed 4 for 7 minutes.

cool in the fridge before putting in the ice cream maker.

bluesed if you were making a vanilla custard for instance, and used about 550g of milk in the recipe, how many apples and about how much grams of almonds would you use? This combination sounds like a match made in heaven 

[bluesed]

I rarely use exact weight but does it by estimate, I would guess if you use 3 apples would be plenty and you can use leftovers to decorate with. I would toast 100g almonds and use any leftovers to decorate as well.
Btw you can replace almonds with any kind of nuts you like, i have tried with hazelnuts and pistachios and they are great too.

thanks bluesed, I knew you wouldn't have exact measurements cos you are a chef and just have a feel for these things (regrettably I always need a recipe as I need to be precise - I am terrible like that)
