Licorice Ice Cream

After a hearty telling off (see Comments on “CALL FOR COMMENT!!”) I am truly chastised and contrite, back in the saddle and dreaming up my favourite…Dessert, what’s more Ice Cream…and Licorice to boot. What more could a Recipe Developer with a sweet tooth ask for? Three great loves rolled into one!

I’ve been meaning to put this together since acquiring my newest gadget, Thermomix, but have resisted till now. SO in honor of returning to the blogging minority, here is my recipe for Licorice Ice Dream…yes Dream! Check out those little chunks of licorice! This is soooo yummy, there should be a law against it!

NEED:
250 grams sugar
6 egg yolks
360 grams milk
360 grams whipping cream
pinch sea salt
200 grams licorice pieces
additional 600 grams whipping cream

DO:
Make caster sugar in Thermomix, with sugar by pulverising on speed 9 for 10-15 seconds.
Add yolks, milk and first lot of cream.
Cook for 10 minutes at 90oC.
Add licorice and salt and stir on speed 2-3 until licorice starts to melt a little and combine.
Bring speed up slowly to around 7-8 and beat for 30 seconds.
Pour into cold tin, allow to come to almost room temperature and freeze overnight.
In clean dry TM bowl, whip remaining cream until soft peaks form (around 30-40 seconds).
Place frozen mixture into TM bowl and blend with whipped cream for 30-40 seconds on speed 6-7.
Re-freeze for several hours. Makes around 2 litres of excellent textured ice-cream.

This recipe would be easy (enough) to duplicate with a good strong arm (for the custard part), a mixer/blender and an icecream maker…so go ahead, email me and order your Thermomix now!

    My mother and husband are both big fans of licorice and would love this! I make them eat all my black jelly beans every Easter.
