Recipe Notes

from Australia’s Best Recipes team

If you have an ice cream machine, fold in whipped cream, mix in machine and add honeycomb pieces at the end. Beat the eggs while adding the syrup and keep beating for a while to make sure it is cool, otherwise you end up with lumps of toffee. This doesn't keep forever in the freezer but then it never really got a chance to in our house.
