KEEP YOUR COOL ON THE ROAD – AND YOU CAN LICK ANY CHALLENGE

Who doesn’t love an ice cream – especially on a long, hot ride? Commercial products are, of course, usually available, but nothing beats the taste of home-made. Arrivèe’s very own baking biker, Sarah Freeman, shows you how easy it is to make:

Home made ice cream

INGREDIENTS

● 1 egg ● 100ml double cream

● 50g icing sugar ● A few drops of vanilla essence. METHOD Separate the egg, whisk the egg white with half the sugar and the yolk with the other half. It’s best to do the white first as the beater needs to be clean to get enough air and stiffness into the mix. Boil the cream with the vanilla and whisk it into the yolk and sugar. Leave to cool. This must be whisked so the egg doesn’t cook. Once cool, whisk into the white and sugar mix – and then freeze. I use a small container into which I spread melted chocolate and then freeze before adding the ice cream and then re-freezing. You can add other flavours – chocolate, by adding about 30g to the cream and melting it with the cream. You could add lemon curd too, I could go on forever.
