Homemade Bailey's Ice Cream

from Darren Shan
author of Cirque Du Freak: Book 1 In the Darren Shan Saga

The author says, "You can make this without the aid of an ice cream maker. Of course, being a half-vampire, I much prefer bat broth and skewered rat, but I guess they're an acquired taste."

Ingredients:

3 oz castor sugar
3 egg yolks
1 pint whipped cream
3 tablespoons Bailey's Irish Cream Liqueur
3 Crunchie bars (I don't know it you have "Crunchie" bars in the States -- they're a chocolate-covered bar with crispy centres; if not, you can substitute a similar type of bar, or 180grams of plain biscuits).

Method

1. Cream the eggs and sugar in a large bowl.
2. Add the whipped cream and stir well.
3. Add the Bailey's Irish Cream Liqueur and stir well.
4. Crush the Crunchie bars/biscuits, then add them to the other ingredients in the bowl and stir well.
5. Pour into a suitable container. Freeze until solid. Then tuck in and enjoy!!
