TIPS fOR BETTER ICE CREAM MAKING
Ensure that the mixtur e is constantly
stirred with a wooden spoon unt il it
thickens and coats the back of the
spoon. To test using the back of the
spoon, coat the spoon in the crème
anglaise. Run your finger through the
mixture on the back of the spoon. I f the
finger mark stays then the mixt ure is
thick enough.
If the mixture separates or cu rdles then
heat is too high.
Do not leave crème anglaise unattended
while cooking.

to thicken depending on quantities etc.

room temperature before placing into
the fridge.
