Caramel Popcorn Ice Cream
One of the best. Both infused and with inclusions. We are talking pro-icreamery here. The Whole Scoop, literally.
The Whole Scoop delivers! With both an infusion and an inclusion, this recipe is next level with flavour and super simple and easy to achieve. It was a favourite when shooting the course, we fondly referred to this one as ice cream crack. It is addictive in a good way.
