This recipe is no ordinary recipe, it comes with a story. My husband has wanted me to make this ice cream for like ever! His aunt, Cynthia, made this for him at once stage before she moved to Australia, and the ice cream legacy left with her. I came onto the scene after this all had transpired, and ALL I would hear when the home made ice cream topic would come up from time to time, is about Cynthia's ice cream! I never got to try it! Then, a week before we got married, as a long distance wedding gift, she sent the recipe! Finally, it was mine mhooowahahahah!. Alas, in the rush leading up to the wedding, I "put it in a special place" so I could make the famous ice cream once we were married, and life was normal .
Anyhoo, after a 3-and-a-half year time gap, I had forgotten about this wonderful summer treat. Then.... last Saturday, when I couldn't move around in my craft room (not an exaggeration - ask any family member!)due to the random piles of "stuff", I took the plunge and waded through the mess, sorting it, packing it and chucking it (Amy will be proud!), I came arcoss the recipe! There I stood, still, in awe! Eventually I managed to breathe again, slowly, and skip to the kitchen where, believe it or not, I had all the ingredients waiting ( I was planning to try a recipe I found online for home made ice cream!). EEEEEEKKKKK!
It is probably one of the easiest recipes, and yields awesome results.
Shane loves crunchies, and this was extra special so....
...so I went the extra mile! Crunchie chunks AND Milkybar chunks....
...mixed with condensed milk, milk and a dash of vanilla essence, folded into whipped cream...
...and plonked into the freezer. I did cover it with tin foil, and I did have to stir it up every 2 hours, but by that evening we enjoyed a wonderful bowl of Cynthia's home made ice-cream.
Thanks aunty Cynthia!
Hope you all enjoy it!

Oh my I have wanted to try and make ice cream for my dad for the longest time. He loves ice cream and his mom used to make ice cream when they lived on the farm. His dad used to late at night eat all the ice cream and put the empty container back in the fridge... and when my Gran came to get some ice cream it was all gone! Think his love from ice cream must have been passed down:) Will have to try and make him some, it will make him oh so happy...
