Servings
  • 2 cups (16 fl oz/ 480 ml) heavy cream
  • 1 ⅓ cups (3 ½ oz/100g) crumbled brown bread
  • 1 cup (8 fl oz/240 ml) whole milk
  • 1 ½ tablespoons (¾ oz/22 g) butter, melted
  • teaspoon salt
  • 3 ½ tablespoons (1 ½ oz/43 g) granulated sugar

  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • cup (5 oz/142g) granulated sugar
  • teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon O’Driscolls Whiskey

Notes

  • For crumbles and sauce: Use my Mum's Brown Bread recipe to make the crumbles and serve the ice cream with my Irish Whiskey Caramel Sauce.
  • Do it ahead: Make the custard up to two days in advance—the flavor gets better as it sits. In a restaurant I worked in they aged ice cream bases, just like you can do with bread and cookie dough. The liquid evaporates as it sits, and that intensifies the flavor.
  • Get the most flavor: Use full-fat milk and cream for more flavor in your custard.
  • Whiskey tips: Don’t be shy with the salt and whiskey. If you want to make this without whiskey, add a splash of vanilla extract instead.
  • Imporant freeezing note: Whiskey (or vanilla), is not just for flavor. It also lowers the freezing point, making the ice cream scoopable.
  • Make it smooth: Strain the custard mixture for the silkiest results.
  • Split fix: If your custard splits use a liquidizer (blender or immersion blender) to easily bring it back together.
  • Cold is key: Cold bases freezers faster. Make sure the drum is frozen for at least 24 hours. The more time the better.
  • Don't over-churn: Spin until you have a soft-serve consistency. If you churn too long, the ice cream freezed harder.
  • Timing tip: I like to churn the ice cream, and then give it about four to five hours before eating.
