I love making ice-cream and although I have a small ice-cream machine, sometimes I can just can't be bothered to take it out the cupboard and I use this easy-peasy recipe that you can "churn" with the old-fashioned hand whisk....
Method: Beat eggs and caster sugar in your mixing bowl until it is creamy and thick. Heat the milk and cream and bring to just before boiling point. Add the cream, milk and vanilla if making vanilla ice-cream to the egg mixture. Pour into a plastic container and place in the freezer. After 15 minutes, take the container from the freezer and with a fork or whisk, just mix the ice-cream again to prevent ice-crystals from forming. Repeat the process again after 15 minutes and once more. Freeze until needed. To make the other flavors: Chocolate When heating the cream and milk, add 1 x 100g 70% chocolate to the mixture and allow to melt. Mix with the egg and sugar mixture. Now crumble 50 gr Mediterranean Delicacies Chocolate Halva to the ice-cream mixture and pop in the freezer or ice-cream machine. Follow rest of recipe as above. Almond and Hazelnut Make the basic vanilla ice-cream and add 125 ml chopped toasted, shelled hazelnuts and 50 g Mediterranean Delicacies Almond Halva to the ice-cream mixture. Follow rest of method as above. Pistachio Make the basic vanilla ice-cream and add 125 ml chopped toasted, shelled pistachios and 50 g Mediterranean Delicacies Vanilla Halva to the ice-cream mixture. Follow rest of method as above.
