Our easy toasted nut and demerara ice cream recipe is a great way of using up leftover nuts. We’ve cheated by using shop-bought vanilla ice cream so it really is a doddle to make.

Method

Heat the oven to 180°C/fan160°C/gas 4. Spread the nuts out on a baking tray and toast in the oven until golden (5-10 minutes).
Cool slightly, then roughly chop and mix with the sugar in a small bowl.
Defrost the ice cream until just spoonable. Spoon into a large bowl and stir through the nut/sugar mixture, then return to the tub and pack it down tightly. Freeze until set (about 3 hours). Serve with sticky toffee pudding.
