Ingredients

Instructions

Combine milk, smaller quantity of cream, sugar, salt and syrup in a heavy-based saucepan. Heat on a medium heat until close to boiling, whisking occasionally.

Remove from heat and pour onto egg yolks, whisking together. Pour the mixture back into the pan and heat gently while stirring until it thickens sufficiently to coat the back of a spoon. Do not allow to boil.

Sieve the mixture using a fine-mesh sieve into a clean bowl and add the remaining cream. Whisk well together and allow to cool before covering and chilling in refrigerator until quite cold.

Freeze in an ice cream maker using the manufacturers’ instructions. After this churning and freezing, the required filling may be added in the form of a fruit purée or check out other ice cream recipes for ideas. Churn briefly to mix in the filling and then use immediately or transfer to a covered container and freeze until required.

About this recipe:
In its original form, this recipe was intended for small-scale commercial use and included 15 eggs, rather more than would be expected for domestic use.

Although often scaled up for volume use, I have scaled it down to produce approximately 1 litre, not including any filling etc which will increase the overall volume.
