Caramelised banana-and-crunchie ice cream

Serves Makes 1.5 Litres

Difficulty Easy

Prep Time 40 minutes

Cooking Time 30 minutes

Ingredients

For the vanilla base:

9 free-range egg yolks
200 g sugar
1 T vanilla paste
4 cups cream
1 cup milk

For the ice cream:

1 batch vanilla ice-cream base
4 ripe bananas, peeled and roughly chopped
2 T golden syrup
2 Crunchies, roughly chopped

Method

To make the vanilla ice-cream base:

1. Beat the egg yolks, sugar and vanilla extract using an electric mixer until pale. This aerates the eggs and makes for a lighter, fluffier ice cream.

2. Combine the egg-yolk mixture with the cream and milk, then pour into a saucepan. Cook over a low to medium heat until thickened. Alternatively, cook in a doubleboiler.

3. Allow the mixture to cool, then churn in an ice-cream machine until ready to serve. Makes 2 litres

To make the Caramelised banana-and-crunchie ice cream:

1. Make the ice-cream base.

2. Caramelise the bananas in a pan in the golden syrup over a high heat for 4 minutes. Mash the bananas using a fork and allow to cool.

3. Fold the cooled bananas and Crunchies
