Makes 1.6 litres which will give you about 18 scoops

Ingredients

• 1 x 397g tin sweetened condensed milk
• 1 x 600ml carton double cream
• 2 tsp Nielsen-Massey vanilla bean paste (or use vanilla extract, but you won’t get the little seeds)

Method

1. 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, like pipeable whipped cream.
2. Spoon the mixture into a lidded freezer-proof container and freeze for at least 6-8 hours or until firm.
