Recipes: Homemade Ice Cream





Ingredients:
-
284ml double cream
-
200ml sweetened condensed milk
-
30g dark chocolate (I used 70% cocoa solids.)
-
1 tsp of sifted cocoa powder
-
20g white chocolate
-
Zest of half an orange
-
Extra white chocolate and orange zest to serve (optional)
Method:
​This version is chocolate with a hint of orange but with the cream and condensed milk base, you can add whatever flavours you want, e.g. fruit, nuts, instant coffee granules, chocolate spreads. The choice is yours!
​
-
Break up the dark chocolate and melt it in the microwave in 30 second bursts, stirring each time to ensure even heat distribution. Once melted, set aside to cool (but not set).
-
Pour the cream into a large bowl and whip until you reach soft peaks (the cream should be floppy but not liquid!) I did this with a hand whisk but an electric one is much easier - just be careful not to overwhip.
-
Pour in the condensed milk and carefully fold it in. If the cream becomes too soft, just use the whisk to whip it back up to soft peaks.
-
Pour your cooled chocolate into the cream mixture, reserving 2-3 tbsp for decoration. Add the cocoa powder and whisk until fully combined.
-
Chop up your white chocolate. Add the white chocolate and orange zest to the ice cream mix.
-
Pour the cream mix into your chosen container (I used an old ice cream tub). Add the remaining dark chocolate in blobs on top of the ice cream and drag a toothpick or knife through the chocolate across the ice cream to create a beautiful marble. Sprinkle on some extra white chocolate shavings and orange zest to decorate.
-
Freeze for 6 hours or overnight and it's ready to serve!
