Ingredients
For the almonds:
½ cup (70g) whole almonds
1 ½ tbsp sugar
1 tbsp butter
Pinch of salt
For the fudge swirl:
½ cup (120ml) cream
¼ cup (60ml) golden syrup or corn syrup
¼ cup (25g) cocoa powder
100g dark chocolate, chopped
1 tsp vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
2L Store Bought Vanilla Ice Cream
Method
1. Make the candied almonds
In a small non-stick pan, melt the butter and sugar over medium heat until it starts bubbling. Add almonds and stir continuously for 3–5 minutes until coated and golden. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt, spread on baking paper, and let cool completely.Once hardened, roughly chop.
2. Make the fudge swirl
Combine cream, syrup, and cocoa powder in a small saucepan. Heat gently, whisking until smooth.Remove from heat, add the dark chocolate and vanilla, and stir until glossy. Cool completely (it should be pourable but thick).
4. Assemble
Spoon a third of the ice cream into a freezer-safe container. Drizzle some fudge sauce and scatter over a handful of chopped almonds. Repeat the layers, finishing with a swirl of fudge and extra almonds on top. Use a knife to gently ripple through (don’t overmix).
Cover and freeze for 6 hours or overnight until firm.
