It would definitely slow down the ice cream making process. By the way, Sarah, make sure that the custard is cold as well before you put it in the ice cream machine.

Bowls need to freeze for at least 6 hours, but longer is better. I find the best flavor when the base is refrigerated overnight. My feeling is that ice cream, like soup or stew is better the day after it is made. The flavors have had more time to mingle and get to know each other. When you put the ice cream in the refrigerator for the evening also put the bowl in the freezer. The next day, freeze as usual.

As I said in another comment I just made, it was fobolos!!! I put it into the freezer when it was semi-frozen and left it there overnight. As I said in another comment I just made, it was fobolos!!!

Let me know how you get on! Make sure the freezer is cold and you leave it long enough. Let me know how you get on!

I'll have to check the freezer temperature... Really looking forward to testing it out now... Ah, no, the ice-cream was churning away for well over an hour without getting to that consistency.

And Sarah - it should take 10 - 15 minutes if the base is good and cold. Make sure you freeze the base over-night and that your freezer is at least -18C, but the colder the better for ice cream. If you have a chest freezer, keep it there, as they are usually colder. Remember that the ice cream won't get fully hard, but it should be thick when you take it out - perhaps the consistency of soft-serve ice cream. At least it worked this time!

I aquired an ice-cream m/c a few months ago but unfortunately, did not aquire the instructions along with it!!! I tried your banana / choc ice cream a few weeks ago but not realising the bowl went into the freezer, ended up with a curd & whey mess. I froze the bowl last night for vanilla ice cream but it took ages so I ended up transferring the mixture into the freezer (tastes brill). If I knew how long, I could just relax & leave it.
