Chocolate and prune ice cream
This recipe has been kindly submitted by Bill Mason of Moons Green. If the picture is anything to go by, I’ll be definitely getting the mixing bowl out of the cupboard!
OK, we didn’t grow any of this on our Smallholding at Moons Green! But it is a great recipe and one that my friend Gillian is very keen to try out.
