Tips/Hints:
No need to wash the bowl after whipping the eggs and sugar, a good scraping will do.
 
Just as nice to serve it in a glass topped with some fresh whipped cream, not frozen just from the fridge.

Update -I added the whole 6 eggs and it was fine, saves having 2 egg whites hanging around.

Tam - Loved it!!! Miss 5yr old's face lit up like a Christmas tree when she got to eat some of this. Grin
I served it with some raspberries and it was delicious.
I followed your tip and just whipped the cream in the TM without bothering to clean the bowl after whipping eggs and sugar.
Thanks for the recipe.

I have a stack of broken eggs and guess what I'm making!!!!!!!!  My whole family ADORES this ice-cream.......I can't believe no-one else has made it.  It keeps really well in the freezer - we've had some in the freezer now for 3 wks and the kids had a slice last night (I'd forgotten about it).  It's truly delicious.  Really beautiful served with raspberries.


BTW, how long do you think it'll go before icing up? I have another tub of cream needing to be used and I'd like to try the dark chocolate version.

Uni do you serve this as slices with fresh fruit slice (mango) or a coulis?   

[fundj&e]

yes i slice it and serve it with  whipped cream

[judydawn]

Does it set really hard Uni and do you have to leave it out for a while before cutting it?

[fundj&e]

JD its only hard to take it out of the tin for the 1st time, i filp it on a borad a just rub my hands over the tin about 2mins later it was out.

slicing is very easy JD,if i find Springform Loaf Pan at a good price i will buy it and make it in there and bill damien for it

This sounds good but DW doesn't eat chocolate. I wonder if I could make a variation using something other than chocolate like pureed fruit?

The British Larder website has an amazing parfait recipe

I tried to use the method to make a chocolate and beet root parfait last year. I wasn't very pleased with the texture results and intend to try again. Your recipe should help me, so when I get round to to it I will report...

However although I wasnt pleased with the texture ( spoilt as I was by the plum parfait !), it wasn't wasted. I cut the parfait into ice cube sized chunks and whizzed them in the thermomix. The resulting ice cream was smooth, dark, shiny and delicious in its own right!
