Licorice Toffee Ice Cream Recipe

1. 1

   Place the licorice toffee sweets into a saucepan and stir in the milk. Bring the pan slowly up to boiling point, stirring all the time and be sure that the toffees completely melt.

2. 2

   This can take 5 to 10 minutes. Place to one side.

3. 3

   In a separate bowl, beat and mix together the egg yolks and sugar until thick.

4. 4

   Pour the hot milk and toffees mixture into the combined egg yolks and sugar, stirring whilst doing so. Then pour this back into the pan and heat gently; keep 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.

5. 5

   When the custard base is cold stir in the cream (and the vanilla extract if you want to use it).

6. 6

   Transfer the whole mixture into an ice cream maker and freeze according to the manufacturer's instructions.
