Kirstie Allsopp's Super Smooth Berry Ripple Ice Cream

Summer is finally here, so it's time to dust off the garden furniture and head outside to enjoy some al fresco entertainment. Nothing says summer more than deliciously creamy ice cream, a perfect sweet ending to any meal.

In the following video, domestic goddess Kirstie Allsopp whips up a delicious treat for "real ice cream" lovers, super smooth berry ripple ice cream. Lusciously creamy yet fruity too -- it's guaranteed get the taste buds tingling.

The hero ingredient in this recipe is the Nestlé Carnation Condensed Milk. Not only does it sweeten the ice cream, it takes the fuss out of the method. There is no need for an ice-cream maker and you don't even need to stir the ice-cream whilst freezing - all you do is make the mixture and leave it to set in the freezer.

It's a great treat for the kids to scoop into cones to eat in the garden or alternatively, serve for friends and family with some succulent fresh berries. Just remember to make enough as they'll definitely be back for more!

Cooks tips
Using Carnation Condensed Milk to make ice cream means that you don't need to stir the mixture every hour over a four hour period. The reason you would stir is to make the small ice crystals for a really smooth finish, however, the condensed milk will do this for you. What a time saving!

You can use any berries for this -- try blackcurrants, blueberries or raspberries. Adjust the sugar with the fruit according to taste. Or just make a plain base ice cream with the cream, condensed and vanilla and swirl through Carnation Caramel or chocolate sauce.
