Notes

Due to the lower-than-average sugar content, this ice-cream needs a longer-than-usual time to defrost. Depending on how warm your kitchen is, it takes about 10-20 minutes.

Look forward to trying. When mentioning to mum, she said she liked a vanilla icecream with an expresso coffee poured on top.

Maybe one to try with the exhale coffee to give healthy polyphenols.
