What You’ll Need:
Baileys Ice Cream
- 550g whole milk
- 100g whipping cream
- 40g skimmed milk powder
- 145g unrefined sugar
- 5g cornflour / cornstarch
- 160ml Baileys [2.5 units]
What To Do:
- Place the milk and cream in a saucepan over a medium heat. Whilst this is warming combine the sugar, skimmed milk powder and cornstarch together in a measuring jug and mix well
- Using a thermometer measure the temperature of the milk and cream and when it reaches 40 degrees add the sugar, skimmed milk powder and cornstarch mix.
- Whisk together and stir continuously with a silicone spatula until the batch reaches 85 degrees
- Fill the sink up with ice and cold water to create an ice bath. When the mix has reached 85 degrees plunge the saucepan into the ice bath immediately and stir occasionally. You need to bring the temperature of the mix down to 10 degrees within 30 minutes
- When cooled place the mix in a sealed container. Add the Baileys and blitz with a hand blender. Place in the fridge for at least 4 hours but preferably overnight
- After ageing you are now ready to churn your batch into gelato. Blitz with a hand blender and pour into your ice cream machine and churn until frozen
- Scoop your freshly churned gelato into a container and cover with wax paper and a tight-fitting lid. Place in the freezer
- To assemble sandwich, scoop the ice cream into the centre of two of Lucie’s cookies and squish together to make a sandwich.
