Blackberry Recipe # 3

Sean Murphys Blackberry and Apple Ice Cream, from Murphy's Ice Cream, Dingle

Ingredients:
1 cup Sugar
5 Egg Yolks
1 3/8 Cups Cream
1 1/8 Cups Milk
Juice of half a lemon
1 Apple
1 Blackberry Coulis Recipe

Method:
Make the blackberry coulis (recipe here)
Peel and core the apple, and blend together with the lemon juice and coulis as soon as you have strained the latter (it's more liquid when hot, which will make things easier). Refrigerate until cool.
Beat the sugar and egg yolks together until thick and pale yellow.
Bring the milk to a simmer. Remove from the heat.
Beat the milk into the eggs and sugar in a slow stream.
Pour the mixture back into pan and place over low heat.
Stir until the custard thickens (around 60C).
Allow the custard to cool.
Whip the cream until you have soft peaks. Do not over-whip!
Fold in the custard and blackberry-apple coulis.
Freeze using a domestic ice cream machine, or cover and place in the freezer.
