ICE CREAM

Makes approx. 500ml to 750ml

INGREDIENTS

300ml carton of double cream
400g tin of condensed milk

METHOD

Put the cream into a bowl. Whisk until it resembles clotted cream.

Gently stir in the condensed milk.

Gently stir in any flavouring (see below).

Put the contents into a shallow dish.

Put the dish in the freezer.

Every hour or so, move the frozen bits at the edge of the dish into the middle. After 4 hours, it should all be frozen.

ADDITIONS & ALTERNATIVES

Pour some chocolate sauce on top.

Coconut ice cream. Substitute a 400ml tin of coconut milk for the double cream. Mix it thoroughly with the condensed milk.

Malteser ice cream. Put a small bag of Maltesers in the freezer until they are frozen and brittle. Make a small hole in the bag. With a rolling pin or any other blunt object, hit the bag until the Maltesers are completely broken up. Stir in the Malteser bits before freezing or scatter them over the top after serving.

“Snickers” ice cream. Add half a jar of crunchy peanut butter and a tablespoon of caramel or toffee ice cream sauce. Top with chocolate sauce.

Strawberry ice cream. Liquidise and add 450g of strawberries.

Vanilla ice cream. Cut a vanilla pod open lengthways and scrape out seeds. Boil these and the pod in 100ml of milk. Leave to cool. Remove the pod. Add the milk and seeds.

You can freeze it.

make butter - shake it hard in the carton, shake it more, shake it more, then it'll go to a lump the lump is the butter and the watery bit (I think) is buttermilk but I don't know...

I always buy double cream when reduced and freeze it.

Ice cream.....if you have any Christmas pudding left over cristmas pudding crumbled into a simple classic ice cream custard maybe with a little extra spice or flavouring is delicious. I much prefer that to Christmas pudding itself.

Plus tarts/ quiche for the freezer for next few days

Some rather indulgent dauphinoise potatoes to cheer up a plainer supper.

Also, frankly, I find the date on cream somewhat forgiving sometimes......and I'm rather precious about milk.

I was hoping for reduced double cream too this year but none in my local supers'.
I'd definitely have made butter if I'd been as fortunate as you anjy.

Yes, but you're better off whipping it before you freeze it, otherwise it might split when you thaw it.
