Chocolate Hazelnut Ice Cream

recipe(2)

This months Kavey Eats Ice Cream Challenge is CONDENSED MILK! Now that’s exciting and brings back some delicious pre-ice cream machine owning dessert memories.

Lime & Pomegranate Ice Cream

recipe(1)I’ve owned an ice cream machine for a while now but always forget he exists, the poor bugger! In the last few days i some how stumbled across a fun little place Kavey Eats monthly ice cream competition Bloggers Scream For Ice Cream. How fun!

There’s been some yummy fruity  moments in my ice cream machines history. Some of the most memorable would have to be the kiwi sorbet that the family dogga Mya LOVED, vegan berry & cashew ice cream that cost me a fortune in cashews, and not to mention the killer batch of chocolate & cherry ice cream i whipped up one day for a lovely late lunch.
But the ultimate level of yum was Lime & Pomegranate Ice Cream and that’s what I’ve decided to share, so here’s my recipe and plenty of pictures!
