Here’s another recipe from the Aussie Bloggers Forum - thanks to Guera from A Roaming Aussie Mum for this easy icecream recipe 
I have a great (and so easy) recipe for ice-cream. Everyone thinks you have slaved over all that beating, freezing, beating, re-freezing palaver that most homemade ice-cream needs, but this recipe you just chuck it all together, freeze and that´s it, and its really creamy. You can make all sorts of different flavours and I have often frozen it in a loaf tin with 2 different flavours in layers, turned it out and cut into slices. Two berry flavours is good for that serving method, then whip up a berry coulis (mashed up frozen berries and icing sugar) and drizzle it over - it looks so impressive and is so incredibly easy. I also make the cinnamon version and chop up all the leftover Christmas Pudding into little chunks and mix that in before freezing. Oh, and you can chop up chocolate bars or whatever and mix them through too! So many possibilities…
Here´s the recipe
1 tin condensed milk
300ml whipping cream
500g crème fraiche (or use a combination of sour cream and thickened cream - but creme fraiche is preferable)
Mix ingredients and flavouring together with electric hand beaters.
This is the basic recipe, you can make it whatever flavour you like – eg vanilla (2 teaspoons vanilla essence), cinnamon (2 teaspoons ground cinnamon), chocolate (melt 1 block chocolate with cream before beating), berries – (blend frozen berries with other ingredients)
The following recipe is a guest post by Anonymum from The Nook of Oz.
Olive oil
1 medium onion (finely chopped)
250 grams of salami {diced}
100g diced bacon
1 teaspoon crushed garlic {from a jar}}
!/2 teaspoon crushed chilli {or to taste, again a jar}
2 x 400g tin of Roma tomatoes
1/3 cup wine {red or white, either will do}
2 teaspoons sugar
500 gms pasta
Put water on for pasta
Heat oil, sweat onion, garlic, chilli, salami and bacon until onion is transparent. Add tomatoes, wine and sugar, bring to a medium simmer. Once water is boiled add the pasta. By the time your pasta is cooked, the sauce will have boiled down to a decent thickness.
Serve with fresh crusty bread and the rest of the wine
It’s enough for the 2 of us for dinner and we can both have lunch the next day as well…if it’s only for one the ingredients would need to be adjusted. Everything can be added to or taken from depending on taste.
Following is a guest recipe posting by Bettina from Dances to the beet of her own drum.
I take 500gms of diced chicken
handful of diced bacon
cup of frozen peas and corn
1 packet of Continental Macaroni and Cheese
Stirfry the chicken and diced bacon till cooked while making up the Macaroni Cheese pasta packet, as per directions, in the microwave. Zap the frozen peas and corn in the microwave for a couple of minutes. Chuck the whole lot in together in an oven proof dish, grate over some extra cheese if desired or toss on some extra bacon bits then place in moderate oven for 20 to 30 mins.
This can be made ahead up to the chuck everything together stage and put in the fridge until needed. It freezes and reheats reasonably well too.
Easy peasy. I’ve had people ask me for the recipe and be shocked that it was thrown together from a packet mix
