Desserts Recipes - Atholl Brose Ice-cream Recipe

Ingredients

SERVES 12

  • 600ml/1pt milk

  • 5 egg yolks

  • 100g/4oz caster sugar

  • 3 drops vanilla essence

  • 50g/2oz medium oatmeal

  • 50g/2oz granulated sugar

  • 300ml/1/2pt double cream 

For the sauce:

  • 3 tablespoons clear honey

  • 3 tablespoons whisky

  • 450g/1lb fresh raspberries


Method:

  1. Bring the milk to the boil in a large pan. Whisk the egg yolks with the caster sugar in a heatproof bowl until pale and thick, then stir in the hot milk.

  2. Place the bowl over a pan of simmering water and stir for about 30 minutes, until the mixture thickens to coat the back of a wooden spoon. Leave to cool.

  3. Stir in the vanilla essence and freeze the mixture in its bowl for 1 hour.

  4. Meanwhile, mix the oatmeal and granulated sugar on a baking tray and toast under a hot grill, stirring frequently with a fork, until the sugar caramelizes.

  5. Break into large crumbs with a fork. Leave to cool, then chill. Whip the cream to soft peaks.

  6. Beat the partially frozen custard to loosen it slightly, stir in the oatmeal and fold in the cream. Return to the freezer for   1 hour.

  7. Beat the ice-cream again, transfer to a 1.5 liter/2 1/2pt ring mould, slide it into a freezer bag and freeze until firm.

  8. Shortly before serving, heat the honey and whisky in a pan and stir until blended, then leave to cool. Remove the ice-cream from the freezer and invert on to a large serving plate.

  9. Remove the mould carefully. Heap raspberries in the centre of the ice-cream and drizzle the whisky sauce over the top over the top.
