So what new product have I tried recently, and loved?
It has to be the Woolworths Chocolate Flavoured Velvet Dessert, which I turned into the most delicious Chocolate and Toblerone ice cream, in under an hour.
The 1 litre package has to be chilled before use, but once it’s cold, you add it to an electric mixer, beat it until it increases in volume by 50%, and then add it to your ice cream maker.
Just before its solidified, you add in chopped Toblerone, let it finish churning, and then devour.
Much easier (and cheaper) than making chocolate ice cream the traditional way with double boilers, custard making and what not.
The instructions on the box, say that you can whip it and freeze it straight away, which is great news for people who don’t own an ice cream maker. (but you have to wait a lot longer to enjoy the results)
When the weather cheers up, I can hopefully take some photos to add to my post.

These Easter Chocolate Kisses are my version of Italian kisses, essentially a chocolate covered morsel of ice cream.
A hollow chocolate Easter egg, is cut open and filled with a homemade White Chocolate and Macadamia Nut ice cream.
I love making my own ice cream, and the taste can’t be compared to the normal ice cream you can buy from the supermarket.
To make these amazing treats, you will first need to make the ice cream. While the ice cream is churning, you can prep the Easter eggs for filling.
Ingredients
2 eggs
1/3 cup sugar
2 cups cream
1 cup milk
200g white chocolate (150g to be melted, and 50g to be chopped)
1 tsp vanilla extract
100g plain Macadamia nuts
hollow chocolate Easter eggs
Method
In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat the eggs until light and fluffy.
Slowly add the sugar and mix until incorporated.
Add the cream and milk, and continue to mix.
In a microwaveable bowl, melt 150g of the white chocolate, and add to the cream mixture. Beat together.
Pour the ice cream mixture into the bowl of your ice cream maker, and churn according to the instructions provided with your maker.
In a food processor, add 50g of white chocolate and the macadamia nuts, and pulse until small chunks are formed.
When the ice cream has reached soft serve consistency, add the chunks of white chocolate and macadamia nuts.
While the ice cream is churning, prepare the Easter eggs, by chopping off the top of them with a knife heated in the boiling water.
Prop the Easter eggs up in an egg cup or other suitable container, and using a teaspoon, fill each egg with some ice cream.
Put the eggs in the freezer, so that the ice cream can harden.
To serve the eggs, either place them in egg cups, or alternatively, you can make some mini doughnuts, and use those as egg holders.
