Autumnal Tastes for Ice Cream Lovers!
Having an abundance of homegrown apples I’ve been looking for recipes online and stumbled across this delicious sounding ice cream recipe from the fabulously named www.forkknifeswoon.com website. So I decided to give it a try.
Make sure your ice cream machine has been frozen overnight!!
This recipe can take 2 hours with refrigeration before adding to ice cream maker so plan ahead!
The US ‘cup’ measuring system can be hard to figure (must buy one of these ‘Measuring Cup Sets’ ) plus I am pretty sure my little ice cream maker is about the half the size of theirs, so I halved everything thus so:
Ice Cream Base:
240ml heavy cream
120ml milk
75g caster sugar
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon sea salt
Cinnamon Apple Swirl
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
2 large apples, peeled, cored and diced into bite sized pieces
25g soft brown sugar
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
small pinch nutmeg
small pinch ground cloves
Method:
In a mixing bowl whisk the cream, milk, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon and salt. Covet and refrigerate for 2 hours
Melt butter in a skillet on medium heat, toss apples with brown sugar and spices and heat until tender -about 2 to 3 minutes. Let it cool then refrigerate along with the above cream mix
2 hours later:
Give the cream mix a whisk before pouring into your ice cream machine. Churn away as per ice cream machine instructions adding the apple mix about 5 minutes before end. (ie before it will be too thick to mix in)
My ice cream machine generally takes 10-15 minutes before it’s thick and ready to be put in a tupperware container and left in freezer until serving.
ENJOY!
(Just had a sneaky taste and OMG it’s delicious!! Gonna serve it later with Ginger & Orange Cake)
