After buying an ice cream maker because I thought it was essential for making good homemade ice cream, I have decided that it was a waste of money and I much prefer this recipe.
It is based on a chocolate mousse recipe and it involves no cooking or churning. It is the easiest, quickest and tastiest recipe ever. It sets so quickly too, you can be eating ice cream in no time!!
Ingredients:
- 5 eggs separated
- 80 grams of caster sugar
- 200 grams of milk chocolate
- 100 grams of dark chocolate
- 50g of salted butter
- 200 ml of double cream
-Makes about 2 litres
Method:
Get out 4 bowls, one smaller and three larger (one of these must be microwave safe)
Place the bowl of chocolate and butter into the microwave and heat for 30seconds blasts until it is melted. Whisk the other mixtures one at a time, rinsing the whisk in between until each reaches a soft-firm peak texture and there is no crunchy sugar crystals (rub a drop of the mixture between two fingers to check).
When the chocolate is melted, stir in one spoon of the whisked egg yolks first to lighten the mixture then fold in the rest. Next, fold in the egg whites in the same way and then the double cream. Stir until the mixture is an even consistency. At this point you can add any toppings into the mix such as marshmallows or chocolate chips. I added 100g of white chocolate for the version in the photo below. Once you are happy with the mixture place it in the flat in the freezer for at least 3-4 hours. If you need the mixture to set more quickly, add an extra 100g of chocolate and 50g of butter to the initial ingredients.
So here it is, my homemade no churn ice cream. Its not quite the weather for it anymore but I have hope in the British weather!!
