Homemade icecream - help!!

Lost my recipe - but can remember that it had cream, egg whites? I layer it in my tupperware jel ring. The chocolate layer had cocoa and hot water. Other layer had rum, choc chps ???

haha. Was searching for this recipe and found I asked for it last year!! Can anyone help this year??

i have never made ice cream with egg whites...the base of icecream is custard? but i use this recipe and it is ALWAYS perfect
2 cups heavy cream
3 tablespoons unsweetened Dutch-process cocoa powder
5 ounces bittersweet or semisweet chocolate, chopped
1 cup whole milk
¾ cup granulated sugar
Pinch of salt
5 large egg yolks
½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Warm 1 cup of the cream with the cocoa powder in a medium saucepan, whisking to thoroughly blend the cocoa. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer at a very low boil for 30 seconds, whisking constantly. Remove from the heat and add the chopped chocolate, stirring until smooth. Then stir in the remaining 1 cup cream. Pour the mixture into a large bowl, scraping the saucepan as thoroughly as possible, and set a mesh strainer on top of the bowl.

Warm the milk, sugar, and salt in the same saucepan. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the egg yolk. Slowly pour the warm milk into the egg yolks, whisking constantly, then scrape the warmed egg yolks back into the saucepan.

Stir the mixture constantly over the medium heat with a heatproof spatula, scraping the bottom as you stir, until the mixture thickens and coats the spatula (170°F on an instant-read thermometer). Pour the custard through the strainer and stir it into the chocolate mixture until smooth, then stir in the vanilla. Stir until cool over an ice bath.

Chill the mixture thoroughly in the refrigerator, then freeze it in your ice cream maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions. (If the cold mixture is too thick to pour into your machine, whisk it vigorously to thin it out.)

I think the recipe poppi is seeking might actually be a semifreddo - I can offer great ice-cream recipes and a great semifreddo one but they're not the same as the one you've had before!

A great, really easy one is caramel "ice-cream" - a tin of caramel (from beside the sweetened condensed milk) and 300ml of whipped cream, mixed together and frozen. It is seriously good - rich, and creamy like proper ice-cream.

Gently heat 300ml cream and 300ml milk with dash of vanilla in seperate bowl mix 1/2 cup of brown sugar and 3 egg yolks. Slowly mix liquid mixture to eggs then return to pot to cook as a custard with consistency of coating back of wooden spoon. I cool overnight in fridge then add whatever flavour I want to it eg 1/4 cup of baileys is yum then I put in icecream machine put Im sure you could mix flavour through then freeze also.

If you don't put it in the ice-cream machine it will be very hard and not creamy. :-) If you don't have a machine you need to stir up the ice-cream every half hour as it freezes, to break up the ice crystals.

Courtesy - The Vegetarian Adventure cook book(I highly recommend this book - check your library)6 Egg whites, 1/8 tsp salt,1 cup caster sugar, 3 cups cream, 1 tsp vanilla.

Beat the egg whites and salt until stiff.then add sugar and beat until meringue consistancy.Put into separate bowl.Then beat cream and vanilla until stiff.Fold the cream into the eggwhites until well mixed.Pour into plastic containers and freeze.

The book recommends you use a food processor rather than an electric beater and this way you don't get crystals and the ice cream freezes soft rather than solid..However, I make with my Kenwood electric mixer but use the K beater rather than the whisk and it seems to work.CAUTION.powders, lollies, chocolate or dried fruit flavours can be added but they caution against fresh fruit as it freezes solid.

Hellishly rich but damn nice.

You don't need to put the cream/condensed milk in an ice cream machine. It's always lovely and creamy and not hard. I scoop it into cones all the time.
We like it with plain condensed milk and maple syrup added to it.

If you have already asked for it last year then why not just do a search? Type in some key words or the title of your last request, click anytime and then search. The thread may still be active.

Ditto to that! Easy as & very creamy! No ice cream maker machine here. Yum

Sorry, I meant if you're making real ice-cream (i.e. custard base) you need an ice-cream maker. That condensed milk stuff has a special kind of magic, doesn't it? Maple syrup sounds like a tasty addition - will have to try that next time. :-)
