Fancy an ice-cream but you're too hot to walk to the shops? This easy recipe shows how to make your own at home.
Glorious sunny weather is the perfect excuse for an ice-cream - but what if you're too hot to pop to the shops to get a tub?
Fear not, as there is actually an easy way to make it yourself, and this simple recipe requires just three ingredients you might already have in the fridge and cupboard.
The key ingredient is condensed milk, which is combined with whipping cream and a flavour of your choice, and frozen.
It makes a delicious substitute for the usual supermarket soft scoops or fancier gourmet ice-cream brands, and also means you have full control over how you flavour it.
Also, as it is egg-free, it is suitable for people with egg allergies.
