MERCY this is good! I have been a bit obsessed with the old Thermomix, whipping up entire meals for thousands in seconds, and because of unseasonal sunny weather, the ice-cream idea just beckoned...and well, I am a star, what can I say? Get a load of this, but remember, NOT INSTANT...unless you get a flask of Liquid Nitrogen, you'll be waiting overnight for this taste sensation.
I now am going to add toasted almonds, macadamias or whatever, replace the dark chocolate with white, add cherries, or peanut butter ganache, replace half the cream with a custard...oh the mind boggles! Clearly I need to get more acquainted with the gym, that I have been so lax with of late!

Scoop into bowls or waffle cones and work at not eating it all in one sitting! This amount should serve 6-8 generously.
