Ginger ice cream

Serves:

Ingredients

• 1 ½ cup Light Evaporated Milk, (375ml)    
• 1 tsp vanilla essence    
• 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg    
• 2 tbsp brown sugar    
• 50g crystallised ginger, chopped    
• 2 tbsp maple syrup    

Method

Combine the evaporated milk, vanilla, nutmeg and sugar in a large bowl. Beat with an electric mixer until mixture is creamy.

Pour the mixture into a plastic container and stir every hour until frozen. Remove from the freezer for 10 minutes so that ice cream softens slightly.

Spoon the ice-cream into a bowl and add the ginger and maple syrup. Beat until smooth then refreeze until firm.

Serving Suggestions

Note

• Stirring the ice-cream whilst it freezes is what gives it that creamy texture. If you don't stir it, it will develop ice crystals and set hard..
• This ice-cream is a lovely accompaniment to fruit puddings, or the perfect dessert after a big meal to cleanse the palate.
