debbiebillg - Chookie, this recipe most definitely has the tick of yum from my DH and me.  Absolutely lovely and such a nice consistency. I made it with Black Sambuca. Do you think you could substitute with Baileys, Kahlua etc ? These flavours would be great for xmas day ! Thank you for the recipe.

Chookie's reply - Deb,  I use home made Baileys and it is lovely.  My favorite is the Rum and Raisin so I think you could sub whatever you like,  but I would keep the ratio the same.  Glad you liked the liquorice.

Oh Chookie thank you for this. I have written it on my whiteboard so that I don't forget to make it when I get home.

I'm not an icecream eater but DH loves liquorice and ice cream so might need to give this a try. Donna Hay has a recipe for liquorice in her latest magazine if anyone is interested in making their own.

Looks good.  There's a restaurant we go to that serves liquorice ice cream but it is a greyish black colour and I can never bring myself to eat it.    I think this one could tempt me  ;D ;D

Thank you Chookie .......... I think I might just have to experiment before Christmas ......... what a shame that we'll have to sample all these different ice creams. The rum and raisin sounds good too. mmmmmmm

Deb,  good fun making and sampling.  Because I have lots of freezer space I have had 8 different favors until recently.   Some for the kids and some for the adults.

Do you think I could burn the alcohol out before adding to the ice cream? My father won't have anything with alcohol and DD boyfriend can't drive with any alcohol  in his system but DH would really like this.

Wonder i bought some liquorice root extract with this icecream in mind. Perhaps it would be the solution for you.

I'm having great fun experimenting Chookie ! So what flavours did you have in your freezer ? I'm looking for another one to make for the kids. They love Tenina's I Scream Chocolate Ice Cream. But kids being kids .......... they've asked for rainbow ice cream..... yep they would wouldn't they ! DH9 watched this you tube video, on making rainbow ice cream with jelly crystals.

Quite clever, but don't think I'm keen lol. So looking for other ideas.

Wonder, it will be interesting if you try it. My 5yo ds loves licorice but he's disappointed he can't have this ice cream. Next time I make this I will probably chop the licorice in the thermomix. I think my pieces although I thought were small, the licorice goes really hard in the freezer.

Deb,  I am wondering if you could melt liquorice blocks for the kids.  Am thinking about making rainbow colors set one on top of the other. Also made banana and honey.   I also dribbled hot chocolate into the ice cream at the last few seconds of churning.  This made crunchy bits if real chocolate bits through the ice cream.  .  Keep having fun.

Bedlam, where did you purchase the liquorice root essence from? Chookie, did you just melt the chocolate?
Title: Re: liquorice ice cream

Wonder,  yes just melt and pour it in.

I seem to remember a friend telling me about a liquorice icecream that had melted liquorice in it. I think she said it was a a George Calambouris (?) book.

I had some Liquorice Ice cream at a Spanish Restaurant when in Melb.  It tasted quite different to mine.  I think it may have had ground up Liquorice root in it.

So you don't cook this at all?  I've only ever made ice cream from a cooked custard base - this looks soooo easy, and licorice is a favourite of all three of us in this house!

Mel, I made this and no didn't cook it. I don't think it needs to be cooked because there aren't any eggs. The alcohol keeps it at a softer consistency in the freezer so it's easy to scoop.

Correct,  this is not cooked.  The custard base mixture is cooked.  In my old machine with a different recipe,  I used to get a buttery rim around the top edge of my bowl. I spoke to Rodney Dunn at one of his classes about this.  He said to heat the mixture to avoid this problem.  However since I have had my new machine and used this recipe,  no problems.  If you are too heavy handed,  with the Alcohol ,  it won't set at all.  Tastes good though.

Now that could be a problem....  LOL!

Thanks for that, I just wanted to check that I hadn't misread or anything.  Unfortunately my ice-cream bowl has been in the freezer all winter and is full of ice crystals, so I have to thaw it, clean it and then refreeze before useing.  On the bright side, I'm away at a conference from friday until sunday, so I can look forward to making this on monday!
