well it's whirling round 40 minutes to go.
Think I poured it in too slow though, the outside is frozen already.

I made mine, we had some for dessert, i couldn't finish my 2 scoops, it was just too rich. Mark lapped it up, I can see he'll be eating the rest Confused

I have a very sweet tooth but can't eat homemade like shop brought....home made just need a couple of spoonfuls and it is perfect amount!

Deb's Vanilla, first one on this thread. Unbelievably rich. it's funny, to look at me, you'd think I could and do eat loads of that sort of stuff, but I can't, it's just too much, in fact, I'm nearly not liking it, which is a shame. I will try other recipes and see how they are. This one used nearly a whole pint of double cream, I wonder whether there are lower fat recipes which I might find more palatable?

there ought to be some lower fat ones, or maybe you can substitute half fat cream. I have no idea how it works, but someone on here probably will come up with a suggestion. What a shame, after looking forward to it for so long. Maybe the lemon curd will be more to your taste, as it usually has a bit of a tang. My daughter loves my lemon meringue pie because of the tang with the sweet on top.

Can you substitute yogurt (and more eggs) for some or all of the double cream?

I'm thinking bio yogurt and lots of nutritious eggs.... that's gotta be health food Rolling Eyes

so, canyou adapt any recipe that asked for double cream to your own preference ?

According to the recipe book, yes. It's all to do with the feel in the mouth, rather than an overwelming need for butterfat.

If it asks for double cream, then substituting that for whipping cream or 2/3 double to 1/3 milk is fine. Yoghurt makes quite a stiff ice cream with a fair degree of ice crystals in, but is lovely. The less fat, the firmer the ice cream.
