Ingredients:
- 500ml double cream
- 400ml condensed milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 200g Orkney Fudge, crumbled or chopped into small chunks
- A pinch of sea salt (optional)
Instructions:
-
Preparation: Before starting, ensure your Orkney Fudge is broken down into smaller, bite-sized pieces. This will allow it to mix seamlessly into the ice cream, offering delightful pockets of flavour in every bite.
-
Combine the Basics: In a large mixing bowl, combine the double cream and condensed milk. Use an electric mixer or a whisk to beat the mixture until it forms soft peaks. This is the base for our creamy delight.
-
Infuse with Flavour: Stir in the vanilla extract, ensuring it’s well combined throughout the mixture.
-
The Star Ingredient: Gently fold in the crumbled Orkney Fudge pieces, ensuring they are evenly distributed. If you’re looking to heighten the taste profile, a pinch of sea salt can add depth and contrast against the sweet notes.
-
Freezing Time: Pour your creamy concoction into a freezer-safe container, smoothing out the top. Cover with a lid or cling film, then freeze for a minimum of 6 hours, ideally overnight for the best consistency.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Once set, remove the ice cream from the freezer and allow it to sit for a few minutes to soften slightly. Scoop into bowls or cones and enjoy the heavenly combination of creamy ice cream and the rich, caramel-like flavours of Orkney Fudge.
