Method

  1. Tip the cream and milk into a saucepan, then bring to the boil. Beat the yolks and Horlicks together in a bowl, pour over the hot cream, then continue beating until everything is combined. Tip the mixture back into the pan, then cook on a low heat for 3-4 mins, stirring continuously until the consistency of thin custard. Remove from the heat. Stir in the chocolate until melted, stir in the Irish cream liqueur, then chill.
  2. Once the custard has cooled, churn it in an ice-cream machine until frozen. If you don't have a machine, place the custard in a bowl in the freezer. Freeze until the sides become icy, then beat with a whisk. Repeat the process 3 more times until you have smooth ice cream. Ice cream can now be frozen for up to 2 weeks. Serve in balls with Maltesers crumbled over, if you like.

    Does anyone know at which point you add the Baileys, or do we assume that when you heat the cream and milk it is also including the cream liqueur. I am giving it 5 stars just for the recipe and will re rate once I have made it.

    I am assuming it means Horlicks powder, and not made-up Horlicks? Can anyone confirm? Also, would you add the liqueur at the same time as the chocolate chunks?

    Great recipe and a huge request. Easy to make and no problems with making without an ice cream maker. I added the irish cream at the wrong stage so maybe that is why I could not taste it. Making it again this Easter weekend by popular request and may try a bit more irish cream this time! Yum!!

    FANTASTIC! I was a little generous with the baileys so that dominated the flavour a bit but still goooooorrrrgeous! I made without an ice-cream maker and had no problems, ice-cream had a really luxurious, creamy texture, yum! Will definately make again :)

    Loved this recipe, I do have an ice cream maker and it was beautiful. It is really worth buying good quality milk chocolate as this adds to the rich smooth texture.
