My walnut brittle was so delicious it’s a miracle I managed to set some aside to make ice cream as planned!
Once again, I opted to use fresh ready made vanilla custard as my base, adding coffee, rum and walnut brittle. Because Pete isn’t a huge fan of nuts, I made the coffee and rum ice cream first, and then stirred 100 grams walnut brittle pieces into half of it, leaving the other half nut free. To make a full batch, simply add 200 grams of walnut brittle into the ice cream during churning.

Oh my goodness gracious. So many of my favourite flavours right here. Is it wrong that I want this for breakfast? The walnut brittle is going on my “to make stat” list!
I’d totally eat this for breakfast, rum and all! Then again, I’m a fiend for sweet and probably inappropriate breakfasts!
What a lovely combination of flavours!
They worked well together, thank you Kathryn!
The brittle was so so good. Ed finished it up the other evening!
That first photo is stunning. I hope you have sent it to all the food porn sites?
Oh, I hadn’t thought of that Helly, I’ll give it a go!
Anything with rum gets my vote and this combo of flavours sounds awesome. I am bookmarking this to try.
Enjoy! 🙂
