Yes I will try it, it would be awesome to have a magic formula for scoop-able icecream that we can use as a base to replace with our own flavours and variations. I'm not keen on freezing, taking out and re-blending and then re-freezing as I like things to be in one step... I also heard that glycerine can act as an icecream softener, so will try that too - although I don't think I've seen it mentioned in any ice cream recipes yet... Might experiment with some of these in smaller quantities first... I will get my lab coat on  ;D

I have tried the glycerine hint but it didn't seem to have any affect on the softness Kulsha but any experiments in your lab will benefit us all so go to it and good luck  :-*

Oh darn (re the glycerine), I thought I was onto a miracle breakthrough... maybe that's why the recipes don't have it... and only the big icecream manufactures use it perhaps along with other nasties... oh well... grr. I will still try this at next opportunity.

I've tried the glycerine bit. All I got was a sticky mess all over me. I haven't tried it with a custard type icecream though.
May all dairy items in your fridge be of questionable vintage.

Made this tonight to go with some ripe bananas that needed to be eaten up. I tasted it and realised something is not quite right and then realised I had forgotten to put in the butter - bugger! It was still nice and smooth though.

Tried this tonight with some substitutions -

25g cornflour
orgran egg replacer for the 2 eggs
soymilk

Tasted great & the whole family could have it - yum!  Must admit I didn't notice the lack of egg too much either, which was pleasant (I tried a choc-banana custard the other day using banana for both flavour & as the egg replacer and it wasn't nearly as good.).

Thanks!

We had this as our dessert today and it was lovely.  We had nothing to put with it but, to be honest, I thought it was nice enough on its own.  I do think it would be lovely with banana though!  I have some left in the fridge begging to be eaten but I might give the ice-cream a go.  We had to use 15g of cornflour because I had no flour in the house (I know, what sort of TMX household has no flour?!).

I use the same amount of cornflour (40g), and it comes out really nice and thick, you won't need the extra minute.

Made this tonight for dessert and it was delicious but a little too sweet for me so next time I will try less sugar. Thanks for a great recipe :)
