Notes
- "When I read recipes for ice cream, I get excited until it comes to the bit where you need your own ice-cream maker or to stir it every half hour for 24 hours! Not this recipe, it’s easy to whip up and the result is creamy," says Nici. - For a salted caramel version, use caramelised condensed milk (dulce de leche) and add 1 tsp salt.
