The extra mile – the ice cream!

I always seem to plan my menus with ideas for desserts first!

There's nothing that will serve you better than a home-made ice cream and all my recipes are of the “no-churn” variety. I use the standard vanilla ice-cream base recipe to begin :


Vanilla ice cream


Prep – 5 minutes

Total time – 5 minutes


plus freezing at least 6-8 hours

or until firm


Gives you 1.6 litres of ice cream is equal

to 18 scoops


1 x 397g tin sweetened condensed milk

1 x 600ml double cream

2tsp vanilla bean paste


Put the condensed milk, cream and vanilla into a large mixing bowl and beat with an electric hand whisk until the mixture is quite thick and stiff, then decant into smallish containers.

To serve – remove from the freezer and allow to soften.


Serve with the cake, drizzle and a scoop of ice cream – a great idea for Mother's Day!
