How to make

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the double cream and condensed milk. Whip using an electric mixer (or by hand) until thick, fluffy peaks form.
  2. Gently fold in the vanilla extract; this is your classic ice cream base. From here, you can keep it simple or get creative with add-ins like crushed biscuits, fruit chunks or chocolate chips.
  3. Pour the mixture into a freezer-safe container, smoothing the top with a spatula.
  4. Cover and freeze for at least 6 hours, or until firm. No stirring or churning required!
  5. For a fruity twist, swirl in a few spoonfuls of your favourite jam or sprinkle over some chopped fruit for a decorative topping before freezing.
