Method

  1. Melt the after eight mints
  2. Separate the eggs and whisk the whites until stiff but not dry and add the sugar gradually, whisking all the time.
  3. Whip the cream until it holds in soft peaks
  4. Combine egg yolks and melted chocolate and whisk in the cream
  5. Finally fold in the egg whites and sugar mixture lightly but thoroughly
  6. Pour into a tin with greaseproof paper on the bottom. This should be an 8 inch tin and
  7. Freeze overnight
  8. Turn out on a plate to serve - a round bladed knife and a hot cloth round the edge of the tin often helps.
  9. Decorate with remaining after eights around the edge and grated chocolate on the top immediately prior to serving.

    I was so pleased with myself after making this. I've never made ice cream before - and now i can, without an ice cream machine! Took this to a friends BBQ and everyone loved it - kids and adults alike.

    Its ice cream - happily it can sit in the freezer for days. I would ensure you get it out about a half hour before serving as it can get quite solid.

    Thanks Tip Top Cook, didn't mean to sound simple but one recipe I've followed got too solid, the recipe had stated "freeze for 4 hours" Back to your recipe, it's lovely, I did worry about the very thick mixture of melted after eights but when it was all mixed, it made a really good light mixture. I like trying different ice cream recipes and tis one is a winner. Thanks again. D
