Notes about this recipe

    This "debauched" recipe just keeps on giving. I'm really glad I rescued that kg of brandy butter. This evening I used up another 200 g of brandy butter in Co-op's online Brandy Butter Cookie recipe. I swapped raisins for chocolate chips to please a chocolate-loving family member, who, as soon as the cookies were cool enough to handle, spontaneously made themselves an icecream sandwich.

    This recipe has been so easy & satisfying. After the first tub was eaten up, a family member, knowing I still had more brand butter in the freezer, spontaneously went to the shop, & brought me condensed milk & double cream, & a request to make more. This time, I rippled through a very simple mango purée, made by cooking down some leftover frozen mango chunks.

    This was the second recipe I made in my quest to use up 1 kg of high-quality brandy butter rescued from clearance. I adapted it, to use 200 g defrosted brandy butter; 397 g (1 Carnation tin) of condensed milk; 600 ml of double cream; 2 Crunchie bars bashed into pieces with a rolling pin (chocolate-covered honeycomb). It is a very sweet flavour to me, but one of my children was very happy with this icecream, who had recently requested fewer unusual & exotic flavours from me. I might have some for breakfast with berries!
