Notes
Storage:
This no-churn ice cream will store well in a covered container in the freezer for up to two months. After this it will still be safe to eat, but the texture might be a little icy.
Glucose syrup is available from supermarkets, online and specialty baking stores. You can also substitute with the same amount of light corn syrup. If you leave it out your ice cream will freezer quite firm and you will need to let it soften on the beach for a few minutes before scooping.
