Method

  1. Put the milk and cream in a small heavy saucepan. Bring to the boil.
  2. Whisk the egg yolk and sugar together, then pour in the milk and whisk again. Set the bowl over a saucepan of simmering water and heat gently, stirring, until it will coat the back of a spoon.
  3. Leave to cool, then sieve and chill. Churn in an ice-cream maker.

    I thought the idea for this ice-cream was really fun, and it was easy to make, but I didn't enjoy the flavour very much. I served it to guests and they found it a bit too much like having cold leftover milk from Frosties. It might be improved with less sugar-although there isn't much in the recipe- but I think that Cornflakes are simply too sweet for that not to be a problem. An alternative would be to include peanuts, too, to give it a bit more depth and saltiness, and instead bill it as a Crunchy Nut ice-cream.
