Before Easter I made Nigella Lawson's Margarita Ice Cream from her Express cookbook and it was so delicious and so simple to make I had to share!
Pour 125ml of lime juice, 2 tablespoons of Tequila and 3 tablespoons of Cointreau or Triple Sec over 150g of icing sugar and mix until the sugar is dissolved
Add 500ml of double cream and softly whip until thick and smooth
Pour into a container and freeze!
Nigella advises you freeze overnight but I made the morning of my dinner and it was fine that evening
See I told you it was simple!
I love the poster in the background - definitely a sentiment after my own heart!

Oooh! this really looks delicious. I have abandoned my Nigella books after I saw her in London, and she was extremely obnoxious and rude to a shop assistant. I suddenly went off all things Nigella :-(
ReplyDeleteSounds yum, thank you for sharing x
ReplyDeleteOooh yummy. I used to love making ice cream but all that double cream and egg yolks played havoc with my waistline! Our fave was rum and raisin, soak the raisins in rum overnight and they are soooo divine!

Who's Nigella in comparison with you?! Look, even a matching cactus glass for your ice cream!
