HOKEY POKEY ICE CREAM (using an ice cream machine)
Ready to make some super cool Hokey Pokey Ice Cream? It’s creamy ice cream mixed with crunchy honeycomb pieces – a match made in dessert heaven. You can totally whip this up with an ice cream machine or go the no-churn route with just condensed milk and cream. Let's get freezing!
Equipment
- 1 Ice Cream Machine
Ingredients
- About 100g hokey pokey, broken into small chunks
- 300 ml double, heavy cream
- 300 ml whole milk
- 100 g caster sugar
- 3 large or 4 regular sized egg yolks
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Put the milk and cream in a saucepan and heat until just below boiling point. Meanwhile whisk the sugar, yolks and vanilla in a big mixing bowl. While whisking, slowly pour in the hot milk mixture until everything is combined.
- Pour the mixture back into the pan, then cook over a low heat, stirring all the time until the custard has thickened to just coat the back of your wooden spoon (it should have the texture of a pourable Creme Anglaise). Cool, then put into the fridge for a couple of hours until well chilled.
- Churn the chilled custard in an ice cream machine according to the instructions. Once the ice cream has been churned, fold in the hokey pokey chunks (don’t be tempted to add the hokey pokey while the ice cream is churning – it will end up being fully incorporated into the ice cream and you’ll end up with no crunchy bits whatsoever). Scrape into a 1 litre freezer container (cover well with a couple of layers of foil) and put in the freezer for several hours, or overnight until solid.
- Serve in ice cream cones, or in dishes drizzed with some caramel or chocolate sauce.
Notes
HOKEY POKEY ICE CREAM (unchurned)
If you don’t have an ice cream machine, swap all the ingredients except the hokey pokey for: Half a 397g can condensed milk, 600ml double cream, 1 tsp vanilla extract. Place the ingredients in a big bowl then beat with an electric whisk until really thick. Fold through the hokey pokey, transfer to a freezer container and freeze until solid.
