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)
