I Scream.....

....you scream......we all scream....for ice-cream!

Ice cream is one of those dairy products that coeliacs have to read the label of...some ice creams have gluten in the flavourings...others have gluten as a thickener. The manufactured food database is a wonderful resource for people wanting to check products in regards to various allergies, not just gluten. Check it out to be sure of various products, it is available online at www.mfd.co.nz

In the meantime...here is my wicked recipe for ice cream that anyone can make at home, no special machines needed.

Take 300 mls cream and one tin of condensed milk. Whip the cream (no need for icing sugar or vanilla essence to be added) and then fold in the condensed milk. Add whatever flavours you like - choc, fruit, essences (some have gluten in them!).....anything at all, pour the mix into a plastic container and freeze. Enjoy!

Recent flavours I have played with - strawberry and mango, vanilla and choc chip - although beware the choc chips do tend to sink to the bottom!
