-
Pour the milk into a wide, heavy pan and cook
over very low heat. Stir constantly until the milk has thickened and reduced to approx. 500
ml. Also remember to stir the side of the pan to prevent the milk from burning.
-
Add sugar and nuts and allow to cool.
-
Freeze the mixture in individual metal
containers or molds such as jelly molds.
-
To make the toppings, dissolve the cornstarch in
250 ml of water.
-
Heat the remaining water in a pan then add the
blended cornstarch and cook to make a thick gel.
-
While the gel is still hot, put into a press
capable of making fine threads the size of vermicelli.
-
Fill a bowl full of cold water right to the brim
and set the press over the water so that when the gel is pushed through the press, it
touches the water immediately. Push all the gel through.
-
Store the gel in water until required.
-
To serve, take the ice cream out of its mold and
garnish with the drained gel.
