"I have to tell you that this ice cream is absolutely delicious. I usually always add condensed milk when I’m making my ice cream but this time I chose golden syrup and icing sugar. The golden syrup actually helps the ice cream mixture from forming icy crystals so please don’t skip that part. The icing sugar is to sweeten and then instead of using fresh blueberries I used freeze dried berries. They’re delicious, and tart which helps cut the richness of the dessert," The Tocka Blog creator wrote on her website.
Frozen berries also add an extra touch to this must-try recipe.
"Top with fresh blueberries before freezing, trust me once you’ve eaten frozen blueberries you’ll never want to eat them any other way again!! Total game changer and so refreshing! even my kids loved them."
Ingredients
I used my brownie recipe for the base, you can find the recipe here. I baked it into a loose bottomed cake pan.
For the ice cream
20 g freeze dried blueberries
300 ml fresh cream
4 tablespoons icing sugar
4 tablespoons golden syrup
Method
Prepare the brownie in a cake pan. Bake and cool.
To make the ice-cream, whisk the cream, syrup, and icing sugar until medium peaks form. Place the blueberries in a ziplock back and give it a whack with a rolling pin until crushed or you could use a food processor for this step.
Using a spoon, hollow out the cake making sure you don’t scoop out too much at the bottom. Crumble the cake scraps into your ice-cream mixture and spoon the mixture into your brownie base. Top with fresh blueberries and freeze for two hours or over night. Take out the cake 20 minutes before serving so it slices easily. Enjoy!!
