It's coming up to that time of year again, and as I just my ice cream maker off mum, I thought we could share recipes. I've got a few I've messed around with off the net, but I thought I'd start with this absolute gem I made by mistake the other night. It's lovely and light, but super rich, and probably no good for your waist line, but it's really yummy!

Honeycomb Ice cream.
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1 box instant honeycomb mousse (I used white wings)
1 cup sugar
375ml milk

Sitr sugar into condensed milk. Sprinkle mousse on top. Realise you've used condensed milk instead of evaporated milk and you can't whip the mixture so stir instead. Add milk till mixture is runny enough to whip. Putting your bowl in the sink over hot water will help. Beat for at least 2 minutes. Pour into your ice cream maker or if you don't have one, or it's broken like mine, place in the freezer and stir in about half an hour. You can stir after that again, but I didn't, I went to bed.

This comes out the consistency of very soft toffee and is super creamy. I also added Crunchie chocettes to mine, but you don't have too. I ate almost all of this myself. It only makes a small batch, but most people can't eat more than a very small serve at once anyway.

I plan on making this recipe with the other sort of carnation milk (ie evaporated) and see how it works. The original recipe wasn't very specific, but it tasted so good I didn't care. I also was supposed to use instant pudding, but coles didn't have honeycomb pudding, and the mixes are much the same. You could make any sort of ice cream using the basic recipe and changing the flavour of pudding mix.

So, who's next? If you're all good, I might share my recipe for Cherry Ripe ice cream too!
