Storage
Keeps for six weeks or more in the freezer in an airtight container. Scoopable straight from the freezer, this mincemeat ice cream needs no tempering.Hints and tips
- Whisk the egg white first and make sure you get the cream into stiff peaks before you start to combine the ingredients.
- I use an inexpensive electric hand whisk to make this. You do not need anything fancier.
- You can use a fancy loaf tin to freeze your ice cream only if you are going to serve it the next day. Otherwise avoid this. Although it looks pretty, it can spoil the texture of the ice cream.
- This recipe can easily be doubled to make a litre of ice cream (remember to crack and separate each egg separately). It will, however, take longer to whip and whisk. If you want to make more than a litre, then its probably best to do it in batches, or use a stand mixer.
