Although you may disapprove of making an ice cream so easily and quickly with Birds Dream Topping I am sure you will agree that it does taste creamy and delicious. It’s very quick and doesn’t have to be re-whisked halfway through the freezing. The sharp taste and brilliant scarlet appearance of the hot cranberries is lovely.
