Method
Ice Cream
- In a wok bring oil to smoking, place curry paste in wok and keep moving until it is fragrant. Pour in coconut cream add palm sugar and fish sauce. Heat on a medium heat until green oil is seen around the bubbles. Ensure the palm sugar has dissolved. Taste to ensure the balance is to your taste add palm sugar (ensure this dissolves prior to progressing) or fish sauce if required. Place to one side.
- In a bowl; place egg yolks and beat until completely combined.
- While vigorously whisking green curry mix pour eggs into the green curry mix.
- Place the wok on a gentle heat and heat the mix slowly while siring continuously. Continue to stir until the mix coats the back of a spoon. Place to one side or in the fridge to allow to cool to approximately room temperature.

Ice Cream
- In a bowl add the plain, and rice flour stir to combine
- Add the coconut milk and lime stone water and stir the mix. If the mix is not the consistency of a batter add more lime stone water.
- On a hot large flat nonstick frying pan pour 1 ladle (or less for smaller cones) of mix on and spread with the back of a spoon.
- Once the mix has a brown colour roll the disk on a cone rollers (or any tapered kitchen implement, I used a long piping nozzle and less mix), put to one side to cool.
