Homemade Ice Cream
Egg Nog Ice Cream

(contains alcohol)


Ingredients:

5 egg yolks
1/2 pint (250ml) fresh milk
3/4 pint (375ml) double/heavy cream
4 oz (100g) sugar or caster sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract (or according to taste)
1 teaspoon grated fresh nutmeg
2 tablespoons dark rum
2 tablespoons brandy

Pour the milk into a saucepan and bring the pan slowly up to boiling point.

In a bowl, beat and mix together the egg yolks and sugar until thick. Pour the milk into the mixture of egg yolks and sugar whilst stirring.

Pour the mixture back into the pan and heat gently, stirring until the custard thickens - DO NOT BRING TO THE BOIL OR IT WILL PROBABLY CURDLE.  When you can see a film form over the back of your spoon it's time to remove the saucepan from the heat. Leave to cool.

When fully cooled, stir in the cream, vanilla extract, brandy, rum and grated nutmeg.

Transfer the complete mixture in an ice cream maker and freeze according to the manufacturer's instructions.
