I'm doing a dessert for a family party and will have some leftover egg yolks and double cream. Any suggestions of how to use them up, either together or seperately, would be very welcome...I have some ideas but I'm sure you can come up with something brilliant!

Honey (or medlar syrup) ice cream

4 egg yolks
4 tbsp clear honey (you can use maple syrup or medlar jelly for this instead of honey)
1 tsp cornflour
1/2 pt semi-skimmed milk
1.5 tsp vanilla essence
9oz cream (or creme fraiche if you want to be healthy)

Whisk the egg yolk, cornflour and honey in a bowl until thick and creamy
Bring the milk to the boil and gradually pour onto the yolk mixture stirring all the time
Cook over a gentle heat stirring all the time until mixture is thick and creamy
Stir in the cream and vanilla essence
Freeze (stir regularly if not using an ice cream maker)

Yummy
