If you like Baileys then this is a really easy ice cream dessert that looks impressive and harder than it actually is.

BAILEYS ICE CREAM ROLL

 

 

CHOCOLATE FILLING

• 300ml double cream
• 200g good quality plain chocolate

 

ICE CREAM

• 300ml double cream
• 500ml fresh vanilla custard, chilled
• 4 tbsp Baileys

 

Line a 23cm x 33cm swiss roll tin with foil and then baking paper

 

For the filling: Chop the chocolate.  Heat the cream in a saucepan until it is about to come to the boil.  Stir in the chocolate until it has melted and combined into a smooth mixture.

Allow to cool then place into the fridge to chill.  When it starts to thicken it is time to start the ice cream

 

Whip the cream in a large bowl until it just holds its shape

Whip in the custard and Baileys till thickened

Spread into the swiss roll tin then place in the freezer

 

 

When it is just frozen but not hard remove from the freezer and spread the chocolate mixture over the top

 

From one of the narrow ends carefully roll up into a roulade making sure that the paper doesn't get wrapped into the roll.  use the warmth of your hands to achieve a tight roll then wrap up well in the paper and foil and place back into the freezer for 5-6 hours

To serve, remove from the freezer to the fridge for half an hour to soften slightly then cut into slices.
