Make Your Own Ice Cream
For absolutely the best ice cream, you can't beat home made. Not only do you know exactly what's going in to it, but you'll also know that it is absolutely fresh and you can make whatever flavour your imagination can come up with.I like this ice cream maker because you can also make sorbets and frozen yoghurt in it. The brushed stainless-steel housing and heavy-duty motor mean it will handle the demands of a big family and it comes with a recipe book to get you started.

To Make The Best Ice Cream for Sundaes
Passionfruit Ice Cream
Delicious Ice Cream Recipe
You will need:-1 cup caster sugar
4 cups thickened cream
3 teaspoons vanilla extract
Pulp from 6 passionfruit
1. Combine half the cream with the sugar in a saucepan. Stir with a wooden spoon over low heat until sugar dissolves, about five minutes. Remove from heat and stir in remaining cream and vanilla.
2. Line loaf pan with cling wrap, allowing extra to wrap top. Pour in cream mixture. Fold over cling wrap and place in freezer for three to four hours until almost set.
3. Using a metal spoon, roughly break up the mixture. Using cling wrap, lift mixture from pan and empty into the bowl of a food processor. Process until smooth.
4. Return mixture to loaf pan. Stir in passionfruit. Cover and freeze for two or three hours until set.
Alternatively, make in your ice cream maker.
Fresh passionfruit is best always but if you live in an area where you just can’t get it or it is out of season and you just must have it this Passion Fruit Concentrate from Amazon.com is a good substitute.
