I am going to make proper vanilla ice cream tomorrow. Will stock up on eggs, cream and whole milk later, get vanilla pods and vanilla essence.

Won't be making any tonight, i just set it up on the worktop. It needs to be stationary for 24 hours for the coolant to settle before plugging it in

Just finished a batch of lavender ice cream, this is something all you guys should have a go at it is really really good. Simple too, basically replace vanilla extract/pod for 5 drops of lavender essence. It works so well.

Oh and if you're interested it's a normal off white/cream colour not lavender coloured.

I make my own - had some lavender and manuka honey ice cream last week and made some boysenberry flavour this week.

Raymond Lin · 14 Jul 2011 at 00:12

Ok, ice cream bases are made and chilling in the fridge ready for tomorrow.

Sample 1 - Blueberries and Cherry frozen Yogurt mix
Sample 2 - French Vanilla Ice cream, made with a custard base with egg yokes, vanilla extract and 1 vanilla pod (probably cheaper to buy ready made as the pods are £4 for 2 and vanilla extracts are £6 a bottle!)

Tempted to use half the vanilla mix to make plain vanilla ice cream. The other half i am going to add in some crushed dark Green & Black dark Chocolate bits.

Can't get enough of this stuff. Not sure if you can get it in the UK, but it's pretty big in Australia

I also love sweetcorn ice-cream when fresh corn is in season and super sweet.

Raymond Lin · 14 Jul 2011 at 10:00

I hope I am doing it right. Most recipes online are American so its all in ounces and 1 cup this and 1 3/4 cup that.

I have no idea what a cup is so I just took a 12 ounce mug and used that as a unit of "cup" and everything went relative to that.....at least the proportions should be correct.

I mean, what can go wrong? It's full of sugar, no matter how it turns out it'll be sweet and cold lol

Right?

Glaucus · 14 Jul 2011 at 10:03

To much sugar will turn it extremely hard.

How can you not have cups? Cups are amazing and I wish all recipes would use it. Why gaff about weighing stuff.
