Home made Ice-Cream a la Elsabé

Vanilla Ice Cream - yummmmm...

This is probably the easiest to make and best tasting home-made Ice-Cream around.

Ingredients:
   1 x Tin COLD evaporated milk (420g tin)
   1 x Tin COLD Dairy Cream (420g tin)
   1 x Tin COLD condensed milk (380g tin)

Method:
Beat the evaporated milk until stiff. Add the Dairy Cream and beat again until stiff.
Add the condensed milk and mix in well.
Place in freezer for a few hours.

Notes:
If using a mixer, it only takes 2-3 minutes at medium speed to beat things up.
I am sure one can also add all sorts of flavorings - honey, chocolate, even strawberry pieces / jam.....




And to go with the ice-cream... Hot Chocolate Sauce

Hot Chocolate Sauce

This has to be the best chocolate sauce for ice-cream and puddings. Very easy to make.
I got this recipe from Ann Stacey 30 years ago. At that time she was a Physiotherapist at Ernest Oppenheimer hospital in Welkom, South Africa.

Ingredients:
   Milk.
   Sugar.
   Plain golden syrup.
   Cocoa powder.
   Butter.

Method:
Mix equal quantities of all the ingredients in a sauce pan and warm over a low heat, stirring continually. When the sugar has dissolved and the cocoa powder infused, you are done.

Notes:
Don't over-heat.

   3 tablespoons of plain golden syrup.
   4 cups of rolled oats.
   1½ cups sugar.

   ½ teaspoon cinnamon powder.
   1 cup of butter or margarine.
   2 teaspoons of bicarbonate of soda.
   4 tablespoons of milk.

Method:
Mix the bicarbonate of soda and milk with a steel teaspoon in a cup.
Melt the butter in a pan and add the syrup and milk mixture - don't over heat!
Combine all the dry ingredients in a mixing bowl.
Add the wet ingredients and mix through.
Press the (crumbly) mixture into a greased baking tray to a depth of about 1cm (½ inch).
Bake in pre-heated oven at 180°C (350°F) for 15 to 20 minutes.
Cut into bite size squares, lift out of tray and allow to cool.

Notes:
None... just enjoy...




Hessie's brandy cream liqueur - A.K.A. "Baileys" or "Cape Velvet"

Easy to make and tastes great.....

Ingredients:
   2 large eggs.
   6ml caramel essence.
   20ml vanilla essence.
   15ml instant coffee powder.
   2 x 397g tins condensed milk.
   500ml fresh cream.
   1 x 750ml bottle brandy (Cognac).

Method:
Put the condensed milk and cream into a bowl and mix together.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs with a little milk until smooth.
Add the remaining ingredients with the eggs and mix well.
Now add the condensed milk / cream mixture stirring gently.
Bottle and place in refrigerator.

Notes:
You can't muck about with this one too much, but if left in the refrigerator for a few hours, it thickens nicely and goes down very well...
My Uncle Monty used to say - "Let's have some Magic Moments", and we will promptly polish a bottle of the stuff off.
