Method

  1. Stir the vanilla into the condensed milk in a large bowl. Lightly whip the cream until it just holds its shape, then fold into the condensed milk using a metal spoon. Spoon into a 1-litre freezer-proof container and freeze for about 3 hrs, until softly frozen. This mix won't crystallise at the edges like most ice creams.
  2. Working quickly, ruffle up the mix, pour over the syrup and the crushed caramels, then give another quick swirl. Freeze for another 4 hrs or ideally overnight until firm. Will freeze for up to 1 month.

Crush sweets

To crush the sweets, unwrap, then fold them up in a clean tea towel. Bash with a rolling pin or heavy saucepan until roughly chopped.

    Almost the easiest ice-cream I've ever made. There is a James Martin banana ice-cream that is possibly easier. Loved it, am going to add pecan nut pieces to it next time and just have the ice-cream as a dessert in its own right.

    Just made this for the second time in less than 2 days! It is super creamy and the crunch from the toffees is wonderful. All my guests loved it. Served with the apple and pear crumble, yum!

    Beautiful ice cream and so easy to make. I would say to put the sweets in a freezer bag before putting a teatowel round them to crush to avoid fibre from the teatowel sticking to them. Will be a permanent fixture in my freezer I reckon.

    Absolutely gorgeous! Tempted to add more syrup and toffee to it though, as I found a lot of it just tasted creamy (but nice!)

    Wonderful, creamy ice cream. Very easy to make and loved by all. I found it easier to crush the Werthers originals in a pestle and mortar as they kept escaping from my tea towel all over the kitchen floor! This has got to be a permanent addition to the freezer.

    What are Werther's originals? Any ideas for substitutes, 'cos I haven't seen them here in Mexico?

    I put the Werthers in the freezer before beginning, then when needed used my Bamix chopper for for 8 seconds - Excellent! Thank you for this recipe, it tastes wonderful and I only put a few strawberries on the plate and had it on its own. Mmmmmmmmmmmm

    Is the light condensed cream supposed to be 200 g or 200 ml? Seems strange that a liquid is in grams not milliliters.
