Advantages: Inexpensive, delicious, reasonably easy, control over ingredients Disadvantages: Make too much and you could put on weight
...Here are some basic recipes for each, which can be adjusted to suit different tastes, with a few variations. Sometimes it won't turn out quite like you expected - I've had some unaccountably so hard that we almost needed a pickaxe to cut into them, and some a little bland. Sometimes they're too sweet, sometimes not sweet enough. But none of these are serious problems; serve with fruit or with pouring sauces to complement them, or leave them to thaw ... ...Each of these recipes makes about a litre. They can all be made without an ice cream churn, but you have to keep removing the mixture from the freezer every couple of hours and stirring, otherwise it separates into layers. CUSTARD BASE WITH CREAM
This makes a very good vanilla ice cream, and also works well with chocolate or choc-chip. I don't find it so good with fruit, although there's no particular reason why it shouldn't work with strong-tasting ...

Advantages: Yummy, cheaper than shop-bought, easy, no nasty additives. Disadvantages: Some are fattening, some are tooth-rotters!
Mmm… frozen desserts. For ice creams, you'll have to refer to my previous opinion. Today, we're doing sorbets and frozen yoghurts. You won't need an ice cream maker for any of these, nor any fiddly gelatine or any other clever ingredients. And what's more, they're all easy peasy, nicer than anything you can buy in the shops, and cheaper too!

This is one for the dieters amongst you. There's only a tiny ... ...250ml low fat yoghurt
1 small punnet strawberries
1 tablespoon caster sugar
Grated peel of half an orange
First of all you need to freeze the yoghurt. Once it's frozen, you're going to put it into your food processor, so it needs to be in bite-sized chunks, as it were. So use an ice cube tray. Once it's frozen solid – it'll take about three hours – turn the little blocks of frozen yoghurt out into the food processor's bowl and whizz for about ...

Red Nose Ice Cream.
This is a favourite recipe of mine. If you make any please add a small donation on Red Nose day. It's so simple to make and takes no time at all and unlike ordinary ice cream you do not need to keep stirring it when freezing.
Ingredients: 1 pint Double cream
1 can condensed milk (standard size)
Several generous glugs White rum
3 tablespoons desiccated coconut
130g (half a tub) glace cherries, chopped
Method: 1) Put cherries ... ...to steep for a couple of hours
2) Empty cream into large bowl and whisk until thickened so that whisk leaves a trace in cream. 3) Gradually fold in condensed milk until mixed in well. 4) Stir in cherry, coconut and white rum mix.
5) Pour into freezerproof container with lid, preferably (plastic container is easiest) and freeze. 6) When frozen, eat.
Alternatives: Do steps 1 & 2 as basic and at step 3 substitute one of the following:
- Kahlua cream ...

When the mango season comes around in summer, I become addicted to eating ripe juicy mangoes, as my dad brings home a big box full of mangoes week after week from the Indian grocery store. It becomes my favourite fruit for about a month before I begin to get bored of it. Probably the only time of year I eat so much fruit too.

I just love ice cream it's just one of those things that is easily eaten and quite refreshing. Even at this time of year I can eat ice cream! Cold yes but lovely and sweet.

The art of making the Italian frozen dessert extends beyond the literal meaning of the word. Gelato has become a generic Italian word for ice cream, though true gelato contains no cream.

The gelato ingredients are super-cooled while stirring to break up ice crystals as they form. Typical gelato ...

Advantages: fat free, lovely taste Disadvantages: just the washing up
I love sorbets and ice cream but since having to change my diet and cut out a lot of processed food I've missed iced desserts. Yes I cheat now and again but I do suffer, so I decided to come up with something of my own so I knew exactly what was in it!
What you'll need (serves 2 people):-

(don't use concentrated long life orange juice as this will give the ... ...hand blender
Before you start put the dishes you'll be serving this in, in the fridge. Let the dishes chill for at least an hour. This stops your sorbet from melting too quickly if its really hot.
Good quality frozen raspberries can be bought from most supermarkets. 500g costs about 1.50 GBP (sorry my keyboard doesn't have a pound symbol). Places like Farmfoods and Iceland sometimes have them cheaper. Method:

Advantages: Easy and cheap Disadvantages: Can be a little sickly
I wonder if you are like me? and get bored easily with the normal things in life? like a little experimenting?
Well I was experimenting once again and have a cracking idea to jazz up boring old plain vanilla ice cream.
Ingrediants:
2 or 3 tablespoons of icing sugar
2 handfuls of pecan nuts
1 quarter of a tub of vanilla ice cream
maple syrup
Heat the oven to 350 degrees F (80 degrees C /Gas 4). Mix up the icing sugar with the pecans on a baking ... ...make a thick paste
Bake in the oven for a couple of minutes or until lightly toasted and caramelized. Scoop out the ice cream into 4 glasses or bowls and sprinkle over the whole pecans then drizzle with a large helping of maple syrup. As this is obviously no good for nut allergy sufferers,but have no fear, you can simply use pears instead, you are best to buy pear quarters for this and chop them quite small, but so they are still quite chunky, again ...

...help.
I get all my recipes from Ben and Jerry's recipe book but I do have to adapt them as, in England, we don't have corn syrup but that can be easily replaced with liquid glucose. Obviously you don't have to put glucose but I find it gives the sorbet more body and sweetens it.

You'll need -
10 ounces of raspberries
1 cup of sugar
Juice of ½ a lemon
¼ cup glucose syrup
1 ... ...To make it you need to -
1.Combine the raspberries, sugar and lemon in a mixing bowl. Mash, or food process it (Make sure you don't process it too much if you like to have bits of raspberries in the sorbet!) and refrigerate for an hour.
2.Once it's been refrigerated, take out of your fridge and add the water, glucose syrup and red wine if you've chosen to use it.
3.Make sure it's all blended together. Once you have, transfer it into your ice cream ...

As I don't own an ice cream maker when a friend gave me this recipe a couple of years ago I just couldn't wait to try it out and since then I make it on a regular basis, probably every couple of months.
OLD FASHIONED VANILLA ICE CREAM
2 X 397g cans condensed milk

15ml vanilla essence

Leave at room temperature to thaw slightly before serving in scoops.
