Recipe please mate

Home made ice cream

200g double cream
200g full fat milk
4 egg yolks
40g sugar
15g cornflour

Flavouring - Vanilla bean paste
100g 70% chocolate
100g salted caramel
Peppermint essence + 100g choc chips
Pureed fruit of your choice

1. Whisk the eggs, sugar & cornflour together
2. Heat cream and milk and add flavouring of choice.
If using chocolate allow time for it to melt, choc chips shouldn't be added until cooled.
3. Pour some of hot cream/milk onto egg mix whisking continually, then add back to pan.
4. Simmer for 5-10 minutes, whisking regularly until quite thick.
5. Pour custard into a large shallow dish and allow to cool in the fridge (overnight is fine).
6. Transfer to freezer, mixing in choc chips and any fruit at this point.
7. Take out of freezer and whisk every half an hour for 3 or 4 hours or so.
8. It should now be ready, take out of freezer for 5 or 10 mins to soften before eating.
Flavouring amounts are approximate.
This makes about a pint of ice cream.
Good luck, enjoy
