Choclate Ice cream with a twist
There are many varieties of chocolate ice creams I am going to put up on the blog. I thought of starting with the best one , this one is spiked with a quarter cup of “Bailleys Irish cream”.
I wish I could make my food and desserts look more glamorous , but with a simple basic camera and a hectic schedule these are the best results I can manage , so please do not get dissuaded with the looks of the food , it looks the way it is…with a better camera and some cut and paste I can make the food look out of this world…..but I wonder if you will be able to relate to it….I mean the food should look real enough to be eaten …not something so exotic that you feel…would I be able to make that?
Well that’s my expalination and excuse for some not so great pictures of my food. Now lets get on with this delicious and simple home made ice cream.
Ingredients:
1. 500 ml full cream / full fat milk
2. 200 ml condensed milk
3. Three tablespoons custard powder
4. One fourth cocoa powder
5. 100 grams shards of milk chocolate
6. One fourth to half a cup of powder sugar ( depending on how sweet you want it to be )
Method:
1. Place the milk in a heavy bottomed pan and keep it on medium flame , reserve half a cup of milk to dissolve the custard.
2. Pour the custard into the boiling milk , and keep stirring till you the custard becomes thick like paint.
3. Add the cocoa powder and whisk vigorouly , the custard will become thicker. Turn the gas off. Now add the shards of milk choclate , condensed milk and sugar while whisking the custard vigorously.
4. Let the custard cool off to room temperature , then pour a quarter cup of baileys Irish cream into it.
5. Pour the contents into a aluminium container and freeze.
6. After about four to five hours , beat the semi set ice cream in the container itself or in a blender and pour it back into the aluminium box.
7. Do the same after another six hours. Thsi step not only makes the icecream lighter and fluffier but also prevents any crystals from forming in the ice cream.
8. The ice cream will be ready in about six hours to enjoy.
