2 cup double cream
1 cup full fat milk
1 cup castor sugar
1/2 cup baileys
1 pinch salt
Directions
Whisk all of this stuff together until all the sugar has been
dissolved.
Then freeze as you would normally freeze ice cream, either in an ice
cream maker or in a tub in the freezer whisking every half hour or so.
Because of the alcohol content of this ice cream it will usually take
around 12 hours to become hard. It does freeze hard so taking it out
the freezer 10 minutes before serving is advised. It does melt
quickly so you have to eat it fast.
Don't put any more Baileys into the mix. 1/2 a cup may not seem much
but the flavour comes through very strongly.
I prefer this with a little Baileys poured over it.
Make it and enjoy it. That is an order!
Servings: 4 servings

The History of Recipes
Food historians have tracked the existance of recipes far back into antiquity, in fact as far back as the early Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. Interesting though that is, in the main part, these ancient cook books were just very simple pictorial recipes for preparing food.
Interestingly, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to Professor Solomon Katz, is a collection of stone tablets in Sumerian which recount the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made drinkers feel `exhilarated, wonderful and blissful`. During Roman times around 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote some documents showing how to cook the recipes cooked by his fellow Romans. In his works, he describes how the meals of wealthy Romans were divided into appetizers, main course and desserts, a very modern way of dining. He also tells us how the Roman cooks were skilled in the use of many herbs and spices, including some familiar names like thyme, fennel and parsley. In the fifteenth century, people returning from the crusades brought back a variety of foods, spices and herbs from the holy land, including coriander, basil and rosemary. These new foods and tastes led to an increase in recipe books, most of which are kept safe in academic collections. During the succeeding few hundred years, the powerful and wealthy houses strove to offer the best banquets, and consequentially the best cooks and their recipes were highly sought after. However, it was during the nineteenth century that cookery and recipe books reached a high level of popularity. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the US, devoted much of their lives to collating, verifying, and writing down recipes to allow everyone to enjoy them. Like it or not, the introduction of television gave us TV chefs and the spin-off recipe books. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting us all to access massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on our site. |
We hope you enjoy this Baileys Ice Cream recipe.
