Ingredients
 
 

  • 600 ml double cream
  • 300 g condensed milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract or essence
  • 100 g chocolate

Instructions
 

  • Whip the cream either with an electric mixer or by hand.
  • Add the condensed milk and vanilla extract/essence and whip again.
  • Transfer into a container suitable for the the freezer, cover and place in the freezer.
  • The ice cream can be prepared without churning if you are busy but churning only takes a couple of minutes or so and is worth doing if possible. Ideally, after about an hour, use a spoon to turn the mixture, cover and return to the freezer. Repeat hourly until the ice cream is almost solid (about 3 to 4 hours).
  • Melt the chocolate just before the ice cream is fully frozen. Drizzle some of the melted chocolate over the ice cream and use a spoon to break up the chocolate strands (they will freeze when they make contact with the frozen ice cream). Repeat until all the chocolate is used up.
  • Cover and return to the freezer until ready to serve.
  • Remove from the freezer about 15 minutes before serving to allow it to soften enough to scoop.

Notes

  1. Store the ice cream in the freezer where it can be kept for around a week. 
  2. Remove the ice cream from the freezer about 15 minutes or so before serving to allow it to soften a little.
  3. Dip your ice cream scoop into a mug of hot water before serving to make it easier to scoop.
