We are having the family over for dinner on Sunday to say ‘thank you for big helps and everything on the wedding’, actually I think they planned that we should! So we decided to do something easy and a little bit fun- keeping with the festivities and celebrations.. We got a bit smartie pants.

Niels wanted to make ice cream for dessert, which I found a recipie for based on a custard recipe which you may already know uses only egg yolks, and Meringues, which use mostly only (you got it!) egg Whites and of course sugar- but its summer and celebrations. We’ll chuck some fresh fruit in there for those who frown on complete lack of nutritional values.

we used this recipe for our first ever batch, and added crushed malteasers to the mix, it worked a dream.

Home made ice cream (from Proper custard recipe) http://www.ice-cream-recipes.com/ice_cream_recipe_vanilla.htm
Our favorite ice cream maker is this nice 2pint maker Chrome

magimix at 60GBP but you can get 1+pint makers from about 17GBP

Add flavours, crushed cookies, cinnamon, coco powder, fruit, caramel sauce.. Im looking forward to making some with Malteasers and another with Jaffa Cake’s.
