Great icecream recipe from Achookwomen

[cookie1]

Chookie I have copied this recipe to here as well as we love this icecream.

I find the TMX great for making custard based ice cream.  put it in the fridge over night and make it the next day.. There are many different bases, so you need to decide which one you like.  there is quite a lot of discussion as to which cream to use.  I mostly go with whipping  cream.
This is the basic recipe I use at the moment.

300 mls.  Semi skim milk
4 egg yolks
75g caster sugar
5g. Corn flour
300mls whipping cream

Zap first 4 ingredients together, 10 sec.  Speed 4
Cook 5 mins, 80o, speed 4.

Cool in fridge over night
Beat cream to soft peaks and fold through custard.
Process in ice cream machine.

While it is churning you can add other cold ingredients.
Store in Freezer.

If I have too much base I just keep it in the fridge and process it later.

I find that 1/2 to 1 min. in the microwave makes it soft enough to scoop after it has been in the freezer for a while.

I have added Mango and frozen it into icy pole sticks.  The children, big and small love them.

Hi everyone.  Is is possible to make this recipe if you don't have an icecream machine as well as a TMX?

Cecilia, this recipe is very similar to a custard I made the other day intending it to set firm enough to make custard tarts with but it didn't so I froze it for ice-cream instead.  I did mean to take it out of the freezer when it had started to set to rebeat it in the TMX but I forgot and it set hard.  It only needed a short time sitting on the bench and I was able to scoop some out, it was delicious and very smooth as this recipe here would be.

VHJ, I have added Mango and frozen it into icey pole sticks.  The Children,  big and small love them.

Cecilia,  it would have more ice crystals in it but would be OK.  Better if stirred a couple of times while freezing.

[cecilia]

Thank you both.

Cookie, I am picking your brains here.  I have a Nigella Lawson recipe that I have made before for Margarita icecream which is divine, and looks great when you serve it in margarita glasss.  Her instructions are to make a custard (she uses 375ml double cream and 6 large eggs) and when cooled adds in tin sweetened condensed milk, 90ml tequila and 30ml triple sec, juice of 6 limes and zest of 1. Soooo naughty.  Do you think I could follow your recipe for the custard and then add all the other bits from sweetened condensed milk onwards?

[Rogizoja]

Yes. Just freeze the custard in ice cube trays or in a large, flat container and then grind in TMX increasing speed to 8 while stirring with spatula through hole in lid (like making sorbet).

Waiting with bated breath for an answer.....

Love the look of this,  think it is worth a go.  I have tried a similar one with Avocat , but added too much Avocat and it wouldn't set.  The taste was great.

I certainly don't see why not. If you're like Chookie and add too much alsohol who cares.
Please post all the details when you've done it as it sounds delicious. This reminds me that I need to make more icecream, it was pointed out to me last night that we were nearly out.

I would like to make this but haven't got any tequila.  Could I use Vodka ?

[cookie1]

I use vodka with most of  my icecreams. Does tequila have a specific taste?
