Caledonian Ice-cream

Delia Smith used this recipe on T.V. and described it as the most delicious ice-cream she had ever tasted.

 

Ingredients for Praline

4 oz caster sugar
3 tbsp water
3 oz pinhead oatmeal which has been toasted to an even brown.

 

Method

Bring the water and the sugar to boiling point in a small pan. The sugar will dissolve and the syrup will gradually change colour. When it becomes a rich caramel colour - the crack stage - remove from heat, stir in the toasted oatmeal and pour out onto an oiled baking tray.  Leave to cool and solidify.

Now you have to break the praline into tiny pieces about the size of uncooked rice.

 

Ingredients for Vanilla Syrup

1 cup of Vanilla sugar - sugar in which a split Vanilla pod has been buried until the sugar takes on a pronounced vanilla flavour.
1 cup of water.

 

Method

Bring sugar and water to boil and reduce by half. Allow to cool.

 

Ingredients for Ice-cream
1.5 pints double cream
½ pint milk
The praline
The Vanilla syrup

 

Method

Beat the syrup in a mixing bowl, add the milk then the cream and continue beating until it just begins to thicken. You want the consistency of Chantilly.
Fold in the praline.

Put into the freezer compartment of a fridge and leave until the ice cream begins to set - about 30-40 minutes.

Remove from freezer and beat some more.  Transfer to a loaf tin or suitable shape: cover and freeze until ready.

 

To Serve

Dip the base and sides of the tin in hot water and turn out.
Press hot, buttery fried breadcrumbs into the surface.

Slice like cake and serve with soft fruit compote or Blairgowrie soft fruit in season.
