Easy No Churn Ice-Cream

Ice-cream purists turn away now. The only thing about this recipe that resembles a proper homemade ice cream is how it tastes.

3 ingredients, 5 minutes mixing and it’s in the freezer. This is egg-less too.

Once frozen, it’s creamy and delicious, just like ice cream should be. Anyone can make this; it’s a great one for the kids. The best thing about this recipe is that it forms the basis of so many variations

Use this to form the basis of an endless amount of flavour combinations.

Some of my favourites are salted caramel, olive oil with citrus (very decadent and surprisingly delicious), lemon meringue, cannoli flavour, rum and raisin (pictured), chocolate hazelnut and my personal favourite – pistachio.
