Homemade Ice Cream - Vanilla Ice Cream Ice Cream Recipe 1 Using Real Vanilla

,A custard base recipe ideal for making a rich and creamy homemade vanilla ice cream 

Ingredients:
4 egg yolks 
1/2 pint (250ml) milk 
1/2 pint (250ml) double/heavy cream 
4 oz (100g) sugar or caster sugar 
1 vanilla pod (scored down the middle)

Pour the milk into a saucepan and bring slowly up to boiling point but DO NOT LET IT BOIL. Place the vanilla pod into it and leave to infuse for about 20 minutes.

In a bowl, beat and mix together the egg yolks and sugar until thick. Carefully remove the vanilla pod from the pan of milk and scrape out the seeds into the milk. 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 the custard base is cold stir in the cream. Transfer the whole mixture into an ice cream maker and freeze according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Special Chocolate Brownies

Serves 10-12

For Guinness Brownies, you will need:  
1‐cup plain white flour  
3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder  
1/4‐teaspoon salt  
6 tablespoons butter, cut into cubes  
8 ounces (225g) dark chocolate (I buy a 250g block of Whittakers and save 25g to chip over the top of mix at the end)
3/4 cup white chocolate chips
4 large eggs, at room temperature
1 cup granulated sugar  
1 and a 1/4 cups Guinness   

How to make Guinness Brownies:

In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, and salt until evenly combined. Set aside.  
Melt butter, bittersweet chocolate, and white chocolate in a saucepan over another saucepan filled with water (or a double boiler) on a very low heat, stirring constantly until melted.
Remove from heat.  
In a large mixing bowl, beat eggs and sugar on high speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add melted chocolate mixture, beating until combined.  
Beat reserved flour mixture into melted chocolate mixture. Whisk in Guinness. The batter will seem a bit thin. 
Drop leftover chips of semisweet chocolate evenly on top of batter.  
Pour into a lightly greased flat baking pan. Bake at 180 degrees celcius for 25 to 30 minutes on centre shelf in the oven, until a toothpick inserted in the centre comes out almost clean. Let brownies cool, uncovered, to room temperature. Dust with icing sugar before serving.   

Note: The Guinness should be at room temperature. This recipe uses a little less than a standard 12‐ounce bottle of Guinness stout beer. Do not include foam in the 1 and a quarter cup measurement. Either spoon off the foam or let it rest until the foam subsides.

This is a perfect St Patricks Day recipe... to be sure, to be sure.
