Ingredients

​

• about 100g  honeycomb

  bashed with a rolling pin into small chunks

• ​

For the ice cream machine

​

• 300ml pot double cream

• 300ml whole milk

• 100g caster sugar

• 3 large egg yolks

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

​

Method

​

1. Put the milk and cream in a saucepan and heat until just below boiling point. Meanwhile, whisk the sugar, yolks and vanilla in a big mixing bowl. While whisking, slowly pour in the hot milk mixture until everything is combined.
    

2. Wipe out the pan and pour the mixture back in, then cook over a low heat, stirring all the time until the custard has thickened to just coat the back of a wooden spoon. Leave to cool.
    

3. Churn the cooled custard in an ice cream machine according to the instructions. Scrape into a freezer container and fold through the honeycomb chunks. Put in the freezer and leave until solid.
