Erm sw malteaser ice cream?? Please share! Lol. I love ice cream but have avoided it so far x

 

[TeriS]

I can't find the full recipe this morning- I thought it was the magazine but it might be the website- but basically it was a small bag of maltesers crushed, mixed with aToffee muller light & a largish pot of fromage frais. Mix, put in the freezer, and stir regularly (this is where I messed up- i think it would be creamy if you stirred every 15 mins or so - or you could use icrecream maker?). The result is a big amount of icecream for 5 syns- or in my case I split it into two & had it Sun & Mon. It was really nice but would be better smoother. The bits of malteser were lovely!! I also think vanilla yoghurt might be better.

Going to put this diary on hold while I try a week calorie counting & keeping a diary in that forum. This is not quite working for me - put on a 1lb and a quarter this week. I'm convinced I'm eating too many free food calories. Plus I broke the diet as above & had 1 extra HEB on Thurs & calorie counted yesterday. My fault for not sticking to it 100% this week I know, but the fact I'm struggling makes me want to try something different. On the plus side I have my marathon next Saturday!
