For those without ice cream makers, or tiny freezers, this recipe is infallible, and it doesn't need stirring half way through:
Silly Twits Ice Cream
4 eggs
40z caster suger
1/2 pt double/whipping cream, or half cream half natural yogurt
1 tsp vanilla essence
1. Separate egs. Place the yolks in a small bowl and beat well. Whisk the egg whites until stiff then gradually whisk in the sugar.
2. Whip the cream until it forms soft peaks, then fold in the egg white with the yolks and vanilla essence.
3. Turn into a 1.4 litre container, cover and freeze until solid. Remove from the freezer and leave at room temp for 5 - 10 mins before serving (although I find it's fine straight from the freezer).
VARIATIONS - omit vanilla and fold in at the end of step 2
Coffee and Amaretto: 2 tbsp Camp coffee essene and 2 tbsp amaretto or brandy
Fresh Lemon: grated rind and juice of 2 lemons
Fresh fruit: 1/4 pt fresh puree (ie raspberries, blackberries etc) 8oz fresh fruit will yield about 1/4 pt puree.
Mango: lightly mashed flesh of l peeled and stoned mango
Passion Fruit: scooped insides of 3 passion fruit
or any other variations you may be inspired to create!
