Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups heavy cream
  • 1 can condensed milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
  • 1/2 tsp rum extract
  • 1/2 tsp nutmeg
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon powder
  • 1 cup Grape Nut cereal
  • 12 Chocolate Digestive Biscuits

Instructions
 

Prepare the Ice Cream Base:

  • In a mixing bowl, combine the heavy cream, vanilla extract, rum, and almond extract. With a handheld mixer and mix until smooth similar to whipped cream.
  • After it’s nice and firm but creamy add vanilla and whisk for 2 mins then add condensed milk, nutmeg, cinnamon powder rum extract, and almond extract.

Freeze the Ice Cream:

  • Transfer the ice cream to a lidded container.
  • Smooth the surface with a spatula and cover the container with plastic wrap, ensuring it touches the surface of the ice cream to prevent ice crystals from forming.
  • Freeze for 6-8 hours the same day but the best results are 24 hours.

Assemble the Ice Cream Sandwiches:

  • Take out the desired number of chocolate digestive biscuits then scoop a generous portion of the Jamaican Grape Nut ice cream onto the flat side of one cookie.
  • Top with another cookie, flat side down, and press gently to sandwich the ice cream between them.
  • Repeat this process until all the ice cream and biscuits are used.

Freeze and Serve:

  • Place the assembled ice cream sandwiches on a baking sheet lined and covered in plastic.
