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. Scoop and serve with the cake. Will freeze for up to 1 month.
Try

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.

    Has no one noticed, you have given the ingredients for the pecan toffee cake, not the maple ice cream!

    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.

    This is such a simple ice cream to make!! I tried it just to use up some cream because I had bought too much and was going away. It is amazing!!!

    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!)
