Any recommended recipes for new ice-cream maker?

[greenishfing]

I have bought my husband an ice-cream maker for his birthday.

Has anyone got any really rich decadent recipes that they can recommend?

I love anything really chocolatey.

My husband prefers fruity gooey things but I suppose I ought to use up some of our fruit from the allotment really.

Do you have strawberries in your freezer? Delicious ice cream.

Chocolate, Baileys, coconut, cream, mmmmmm

I bought a little book on Ice Cream, making, I'll look it out tomorrow, if that wud helpful. If you google whatever ingredients you have, lots will come up. Oh, think I'll make some again, it's all lovely!

I have strawberries, raspberries, cherries and blackberries in the freezer that husband would love. can these be combined with chocolate?

Strawberry chocolate and vanilla ice cream brought back memories of Wall's neapolitan bricks you could buy off the stop-me-and-buy-one vans - not thought of that in years!

Chocolate orange - melt 4oz good plain choc in two tablespoons of orange liqueur and add before churning.

The book I bought , £5.99 or may even have been less, from A........n Ice Cream Made Easy, by Annette Yates, definitely worth it.

The little leaflet that came with machine also has nice recipes,strawberry, banana, raspberry, all nice and good.

I remember buying a block of icecream, pink, green and white sold in a cardboard carton. After Sunday School, my brother and I would go to the icescream shop about 10 minutes walk away and buy a block for Sunday tea - special treat.

That's the one Dotty We'd run home with the icecream, and the block would be cut into 4 and we'd have it with tinned fruit or jelly
We didn't have a fridge, let alone a freezer!! Simple pleasures

We knew how to live!!

I made a few jars of black currant jam and have been stirring some into vanilla ice cream. OMG

[Creemteez]

I just make a really good vanilla using a custard base ans plenty of clotted cream, then add whatever we fancy/is available to the bowl when I serve it. This way I know I always have something to go on top of a hot crumble or pie. Our fave "additions" at the moment are fresh raspberries crushed with sugar and a little lemon juice (Mr Teez) and toasted walnuts and pure maple syrup (me).....Dammit, I want some now!....

[greenishfing]

Yes!

I think my bramble jelly stirred in sounds like a winner.

Currant Ice Cream

I suppose I ought to use up some of our fruit from the allotment really.

That's why I bought ours, because I don't need any more jams, and I don't drink wine any more.

Currant Ice Cream
450g currants (black, red or a mixture)
175g caster sugar (it just melts faster than granulated)
300ml double cream
a sieve
2 saucepans
a fork or potato masher


Melt the sugar & currants together, allow to boil then simmer for a few mins so the fruit breaks up. Crush the fruit with the fork to get more juice out.

Pour the fruit mixture into 2nd pan using a sieve to get the skin & pips out (you only want the juice: compost the skins).

Cool the mixture (I put it outside to cool rapidly, then into the fridge).
When the mixture is cold, pour it and the cream into your ice cream maker

Try not to eat it all in one sitting. This recipe provides virtually all an adult female's calories for a day.
