Mediterranean Ice Cream Recipes


Mouthwatering Ices and Sorbets

The Mediterranean is the Home of Ice Cream Recipes....in Greece and Italy it is Gelato, in France, Glace, Helado in Spain and Sorvete in Portugal.

I'm Pam - I love Ice Cream - And here's a great little Ice Cream Maker, that'll get you started without breaking the bank.
 

I have lots of the old favourite recipes, but with a cutting edge twist. These are delicious, quick, easy and step by step.
Once you've tasted them you will never buy any again.
I'll show you the basic ingredients that can be used for all ices, perfected after years of experimenting. And when you've looked at the basic recipe you can link to all the other Icecream recipes via the links below:

So if you're ready lets get going!


Here is a great vanilla ice cream recipe that is the basis for all of our other flavour ices. You might like to experiment yourself, with your favourite fruit, once you have tried it.

Basic vanilla icecream



 Ingredients for 6 people


  • 1 Vanilla pod
  • 500ml Double/heavy cream
  • 4 Large egg yolks (Use the whites for our Meringue Recipe)
  • 1 Heaped teaspoon cornflour
  • 200g Caster sugar
  • 250ml Greek natural yogurt
Method

1. Split the vanilla pod lengthways and using the end of a teaspoon, scoop     out the seeds into a mixing bowl.
2. Pour cream into a saucepan, add the pod and carefully heat up the           cream to just below boiling point.
3. Remove the pod.
4. Put the vanilla seeds, yolks, cornflour and sugar into a mixing bowl and       whisk until absolutely smooth.
5. Pour on the hot cream and whisk well.
6. Return custard to pan and continue to whisk over a medium heat until
it is thick enough to coat the back of a wooden spoon.

7. Take off the heat and pour into a bowl covering the surface of the             custard with cling film immediately to prevent a skin forming.
This easy custard is the base for all of our Ice Cream recipes
8. Allow to cool, then put into the fridge until chilled.
9. Remove from fridge and fold in the Greek Yogurt.
10. Put the custard into an ice cream maker and churn until thick.

11. Spoon the mixture into a suitable container with a lid, and put into the      freezer.
12. Bring out of the freezer at least 10 minutes before you want to serve        as this makes it easier to scoop.

If you want to make larger quantities of ice cream, this machine will turn out professional standard ice cream every time - it has it's own compressor - so no waiting around for the bowl to freeze. ...Pam
