....Just bought an ice cream maker from the market (bargain...never used still in it's wrappings for £2)....however..got instructions but no recipe suggestions.

Does anyone out there make their own ice cream and do you have any tips or recipes for me please..

Ta muchly x

Is it the type where you freeze the bowl, add the ingredients and stick the mixer attachment on?

Sue x

Yes that's the type xx

That's what I have :-))

I have a recipe book but google for recipes, I tend to use yoghourt/cream mix but sorbets are brilliant. When it gets to the clunk stage keep an eye on it FGS...lol

Really depends what flavours, texture you like TBH. Only make what you will eat immediately, it doesn't freeze..no matter what anyone tells you...lol

Superb ice cream, I keep my ice cream maker in the freezer, so it is ready to use at any time.
Mine came with a book called "Simply Ices" by Tessa Hayward - which has some excellent recipes.

What's the *clunk* stage? LOL

I haven't a clue what I like or don't like yet home made ice cream wise tbh...never tried it !!! I've put the base in the freezer so it won't be ready to try out til tomorrow....I love new gadgets !!!xx

I'll have a look out for that book thanks Liz xx

The *clunk* stage is when the ice cream is ready and the paddle is struggling to turn. Leave it too long and the lid gets forced off...lol

We tend to chuck in soft fruits, fresh or defrosted frozen ones. Honey, nuts, jam, anything you fancy really.

Finely mince 1lb of English lamb (or pork). Place in blender with 1/2 pint of whole milke, 1/2 pint of fresh cream, 1/2 lb of strawberries, dash of brandy, 2 anchovies, 1 garlic clove, small onion. Blend till smooth and colourful. Place in frozen bowl and set away.

When it clunks, remove and add a sprinkling of hundreds and thousands. Garnish with a carrot or mars bar/ milk flake, according to taste.

Give to someone you don't like for a surprise present.

Lambs liver ....so fresh its still steaming :)))

By the by, just as a little aside, I once knew a lady who had to eat, on a regular basis, raw liver. This was because she had Pernicious Anemia, and it was good for her.
The OH and I, like it cooked with onions, and I like it cold, thinly sliced, in a sandwich with English Mustard. And, I use chicken or duck livers for me pate.
Eldrick, that's posh meat paste with port and brandy in. Well, it is at our house.

Raw liver sandwiches were prescribed years ago for anaemia
