Ingredients
Classic vanilla (makes about 2 litres)
- 1 x 397g tin condensed milk
- 600ml double cream
- 2 tsp vanilla bean paste or extract
Cherry ripple (makes about 1 litre)
- ½ quantity of classic vanilla
- 150g Taste the Difference morello cherry compote
Chocolate chip (makes about 1 litre)
- ½ quantity of classic vanilla
- 4 tbsp cocoa powder
- 50g dark chocolate, cut into chunky chips
Step by step
- To make the classic vanilla ice cream put all the ingredients in a large bowl and whisk until the cream comes to soft peaks. Transfer to a loaf tin (or an airtight container), cover and freeze for 8-10 hours, or until solid. Remove from the freezer 10 minutes before serving to soften slightly.
- For the cherry ripple, follow step 1 using half the quantities of the classic vanilla. When the cream comes to the soft peak stage, ripple through the cherry compote. Freeze as above.
- For the chocolate chip, follow step 1 using half the quantities of the classic vanilla, adding the cocoa powder before you start whipping. Once the cream comes to soft peaks, fold in the chocolate chips. Freeze as above.
