Notes

Stacey's Kitchen Tips:
  • Don’t overwhip the cream — soft peaks give the creamiest texture
  • Let the ice cream freeze overnight for the best ripples
  • Add biscuits for a “cheesecake ice cream” vibe
Variations:
  • Add crushed vanilla biscuits
  • Add raspberry puree for a two-tone ripple
  • Replace some cream with Greek yoghurt for a lighter option
