ooooh, i'd forgotten about Stags Breath!!! I've got half a bottle of moniack around somewhere as well.


(and a bottle of Troll's treat, and some Spice Elizabethan, and a couple of others...and 6 bottles of my homemade stuff!)

That should keep me going for a while!

How can you have any Moniack just lying about ...

whats trolls treat .. I like the sound of that ...

Sorry for the delay fee, anyway chocolate and whisky ice cream (the cheats method).

Back story - My parents bought lots of vanilla ice cream which tasted horrible and gritty so we decided to see what we could do to improve it :)

Per 1 litre tub of ice cream you will need 2 bars of dark chocolate and 1 shot of whisky (or equivalent % spirit)

Leave the ice cream out until it is soft but not runny. In the mean time melt 1 and a half bars of dark chocolate (hmm what to do with the remaining half ) and mix the whisky in to the chocolate. Quickly mix the chocolate whisky mix thoroughly into the ice cream. re-freeze.

Basically the whisky stops the chocolate solidifying on contact with the ice cream so it mixes in properly and slows the re-freezing of the icecream so you get a good texture. Usually you end up with small chocolate chips through the ice cream,

So far tried with whisky and baileys.
