Illyria

Ever since I saw this on Nigella’s show, I’ve wanted to make this, but I have substantially changed it so here’s my recipe!

1 2l tub of plain ice cream - I used Mackies soft scoop

1 shot of liquer - I used Baileys

150 g crushed choc chip cookies

100g mini marshmallows

100g crushed caramelised cashew nuts (yes I was weak)

crushed Minstrels and crushed Malteasers - whatever amounts seem good!

Soften ice cream and stir in ingredients. Pour into a cling film lined springform cake tin -8 inch. Cling film the top and freeze.

This seems a very forgiving recipe - I think you can vary amounts and ingredients to suit yourself.  Let me know if you come up with another version - I want to try one with jelly babies and freeze it in metallic muffin cases.

As you may know, Ben and I have been on a bit of a spiritual rollercoaster ride this year - exciting, with ups, downs, and unexpected twists and turns. I’m going to try and share bit and pieces with you, and the Stir The Water site is one of them. It has really practical help for listening to God and the meditations are amazing. It has been a huge blessing to me, so if you want to know more, click the image on the top right here, or ask me!

I thought this sounded fun! Tagged by mrBen. Please humour me with your participation!

The rules for this meme thing are :

* Grab the nearest book.
* Open it to page 56.
* Find the fifth sentence.
* Post the text of the sentence in your journal along with these instructions.
* Don’t dig for your favorite book, the cool book, or the intellectual one: pick the CLOSEST.

You have to start these the day before you want to eat them - not because any drastic action is required, but just because you need to let them dry out before baking them.
