INGREDIENTS
- 650ml cream
- 650ml full cream milk
- 12 egg yolks
- 380g white sugar

METHOD
- Place milk and cream in a saucepan and bring to boil, then turn off heat and set aside for 10 minutes.
- Whisk the yolks and sugar in a bowl until pale.
- Carefully pour the hot milk mix over the yolks and sugar and mix well.
- Pour back into the pan and return to a low heat.
- Continue whisking the ice cream base until it begins to thicken slightly. This usually takes about 5-6 minutes.
- Strain mixture into a bowl over ice water.
- Once cool add the almonds and hemp.
- Churn in an ice cream machine. Alternatively, place mixture in a plastic container in the freezer until frozen at the edges. Remove from freezer. Beat with an electric beater. Re-freeze. Repeat this process two more times.
