Brown Bread Ice Cream



Ingredients...
(1) 6oz (175g) brown breadcrumbs,
(2) 1 pint (600ml) single/light cream,
(3) 2 large eggs (separated),
(4) 4oz (100g) caster sugar,
(5) 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract.
Method...
In a medium hot oven, bake/brown the breadcrumbs in a roasting tin for approx 10 to 15 mins, turning often. Make a custard base using 1/2 pint (300ml) of the cream along with the sugar and egg yolks (if you're unfamiliar with making a custard base see the guideline method in vanilla ice cream recipe) and leave to cool. When the mixture is cold, stir in the breadcrumbs, vanilla extract and rest of the cream and then transfer the complete mixture into an ice cream maker. Freeze following the manufacturer's instructions BUT just as it's starting to freeze whisk the egg whites until fluffy and add to the mixture, thereafter continuing the freezing process.
