🍦 Jamie Oliver Mint Aero Ice Cream Ingredients

600 ml (2 1/2 cups) double cream
1 x 397 g (14 oz) tin of condensed milk
2 x 90 g (3 oz) Mint Aero bars (or 1 x 175 g bag of Maltesers, plus extra to serve, if you prefer)

🍨 How To Make Jamie Oliver Mint Aero Ice Cream

Whisk the Cream: First, place the double cream in a large bowl and whisk until soft peaks form.
Fold in the Condensed Milk: Then, add the condensed milk to the whipped cream and gently fold it in until well combined.
Prepare the Chocolate: Next, bash up the Mint Aero bars (or Maltesers) into different sizes – small bits, big bits, and dusty bits.
Add the Chocolate to the Mixture: After that, fold most of the chocolate bits into the ice cream mixture, keeping a small handful to one side.
Line the Container: Then, line a freezer-proof container or a small loaf tin with a sheet of baking paper.
Pour the mixture into the Container: Next, pour the ice cream mixture into the prepared container, making sure it goes into the corners. Sprinkle the reserved chocolate bits on top.
Freeze the Ice Cream: After that, place the container in the freezer for at least 4 hours, or until set.
Thaw Before Serving: Once ready to serve, move the container from the freezer to the fridge about 1 hour before eating.
Serve the Ice Cream: Finally, turn the ice cream out onto a board, remove the baking paper, and slice it into portions. Sprinkle extra chocolate on top if you like. Serve immediately.

💭 Recipe Tips

Chill Your Tools: Put your mixing bowl and whisk in the fridge for 15-30 minutes before you start. This helps the cream whip faster and better.
Fold Carefully: When you mix the whipped cream and condensed milk, do it gently. This keeps the mixture fluffy and smooth.
Mix the Chocolate Well: Break the chocolate into different sizes and mix it well into the ice cream. This way, you get chocolate in every bite.
Freeze Long Enough: Freeze the ice cream for at least 4 hours, but it’s best to do it overnight. This makes sure the ice cream sets well and is easy to slice.
Thaw Before Serving: Move the ice cream from the freezer to the fridge 1 hour before you want to eat it. This softens it a bit, making it easier to cut and serve.

🍒 What Pairs Nicely With Mint Aero Ice Cream?

Mint Aero Ice Cream goes well with fresh berries, chocolate sauce, whipped cream, or crushed nuts. It can also be served alongside a slice of cake, cookies, brownies, or fruit salad for a tasty dessert.

🎚 How To Store Leftovers Mint Aero Ice Cream
