  • About

You will really need an ice-cream maker to achieve a smooth result. As always with home-made ice-cream, ideally eat it within 24 hours of freezing.

Ingredients

  • 6 eggs
  • 115 g/ 4 oz unsalted butter
  • 115

Method

Leave to cool until hand-hot, then whisk in the thick plain yoghurt. Put into the ice-cream maker and churn until set.

Transfer to a plastic container with a lid and freeze,
