Apricot and Custard Ice-cream
by Tarla Dalal

Flavoured with vanilla custard powder rather than vanilla essence, this ice-cream has a richer flavour and a smoother mouth-feel as well, thanks to the extra thickening provided by custard powder.

As always, proper proportions of milk and cream work their magic is providing this ice-cream an irresistible creaminess. An abundance of deseeded apricots impart nice tangy breaks in every mouthful of this delicious Apricot and Custard Ice-Cream.

I had never made ice cream before so this recipe was great for me, simple and easy to follow. I also love apricots, especially the tangy and naturally sweet Whole California Apricots.

I am a huge fan of dried apricots, so i just loved this recipe to the core. The ice cream has such an amazing natural taste of the apricots which is very irresistable. It is nice and creamy like the ones you get in the stores.
