Earl Grey and White Chocolate Ice cream



July's Daring Bakers Challenge was to make candy of sorts, and as usual I had left it completely to the last minute and tried to fit some baking in right before going away. 
This is where it went wrong. I think. I was in such a rush to make early grey and white chocolate truffles, that somewhere along the lines I must have altered the quantities of the ingredients because I just could not get the mixture to set for truffles.

Thankfully even though I wasn't going to be able to make truffles the creamy/ chocolatey mixture tasted so good I decided to turn it into ice cream. Now I don't have an ice-cream maker yet ( its my next purchase), so I did the traditional thing of putting it in the freezer and whisking it with a fork every so often - this accurate description basically means whenever I could remember.
Because of the inconsistent ratio of something - I honestly don't know what, the ice cream was quite dense and rich but in an oh so good way.
We ate it with meringues to cut the richness in half... I know that makes no sense.

Anyways, I'm not going to include a recipe as I cant remember it and I'd like to hone it more, so will add one when I've tried it again.
