The Corner House Restaurant ice cream is always a big hit with our guests and this recipe shows its so easy to make and well worth a bit of extra effort. I suggest making a big batch of it and keeping it in the freezer as I think you will want to go back for more. What makes this recipe special is it allows you to be creative and you don’t need to use an ice cream machine either!
At the Corner House Restaurants we make our own brown bread ice cream, honeycomb, vanilla and Tonka bean. This recipe gives you the base mix and from there you can take it in whichever direction you wish. You can soak raisins in rum, add crunchie chocolate bar pieces, cut up your chocolate bar of choice or simply add a vanilla pod. So without further delay here it is!
