This is a lovely luxurious ice cream, I used Green & Blacks organic white chocolate to give it a rich flavour.
Ingredients
300ml full fat milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract or 1/2 vanilla pod
4 large egg yolks
75g caster sugar
200g white chocolate-chopped
200ml double cream
Method
Boil the milk and vanilla together in a pan until it starts to bubble gently, meanwhile whisk the egg yolks and sugar together.
Pour the milk on to the egg mix and stir and then gently pour the mixture back in to the saucepan and simmer very very lightly (or it’ll split). Stir continuously until the custard mix thickens or coats the back of a wooden spoon then add the chopped chocolate stirring until the heat melts the chocolate.
Cool the mixture, put it in the fridge to chill. Once chilled, add the cream to the mixture (if you are not using an ice cream machine whisk the cream until stiff and then fold into the mixture).
Pour in to an ice-cream machine-or set in a shallow container in the freezer, stirring every 30 minutes till set, approx 3 hours.

Divinity on a spoon. I cannot stop making this! Brava!
excellent! made it as part of a chocolate tasting plate for dessert for my parents 60th wedding anniversary, everyone complimented me on it and said how delicious it was. Very easy to make, but I cut down the sugar slightly.
What a fantastic recipe!! Tastes divine - I added some chunks to the mixture once partly set which added that final touch for me! Went down a storm at Christmas and I just went and got all the ingredients again as it needs to be in my freezer throughout the year...Brilliant, Thanks Jamie! Claire
