3 tbsp Sugar

7 g (1 packet) Dried yeast

Method

For the ice cream

In a bowl combine cold heavy cream, cold condensed milk and vanilla extract. Whip to medium-to-stiff peaks.

Transfer to a baking dish lined with parchment paper (line the sides as well) and freeze over night.

Remove the ice cream from the baking dish and quickly cut out some burger patties.

Quickly place onto a tray lined with parchment paper and place back in the freezer for about 2-4 hours. The ice cream needs to be completely frozen or the chocolate shell won't stick.


For the chocolate shell

In the meantime you can make the chocolate shell. In a bowl combine the milk chocolate and coconut oil.

Microwave this mixture, stirring every 30 seconds, until melted. Set aside at room temp to cool. Do not dunk your ice cream in hot chocolate!

Dip one piece of ice cream at a time into the chocolate, and quickly coat in crushed corn flakes. It's important to do one piece at a time, so keep the other ones in the freezer until you’re ready to dunk.

Enjoy immediately or store in an air tight container in the freezer until ready to serve and eat.

For the donut buns

In a large bowl combine the flour, nutmeg, cinnamon and sugar and salt together.

Warm the milk and add egg and yeast. If you're making the dough by hand, add the melted butter at this stage as well.

Combine the dry ingredients and the wet ingredients.

Knead the dough on a work surface for 10 minutes. If you choose to use a stand mixer knead the dough on high for 3 minutes.

Add the melted butter and continue to mix the dough for another minute or until the dough comes together. Once you add the butterit may seem like the dough won't come together but continue to mix and it will.

Transfer the dough to a greased bowl, cover and allow the dough to rise for 2 hours.

Donut bun frying method

Roll out the dough, cut out the donut shapes, and let them to rise again
for another 30 minutes.

Heat the oil to 160 °C or 320 °F and fry the donuts until golden, then
toss in sugar.

OR Use the baked donut bun method

Shape the donuts into buns (around 80 grams of dough per bun) and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Allow to rise again for another 30 minutes, then egg wash, add sesame seeds and bake in preheated oven at 160 °C or 320 °F for 18 minutes. DO NOT over bake. Dust with powdered sugar.

To assemble the ice cream burger

Dip one piece of ice cream at a time into the chocolate-Oreo-but mix. It's important to do one piece at a time, so keep the other ones in the freezer until you’re ready to dunk.

Place onto some parchment paper, and back in the freezer while you dip the other patties. Brush with some caramel sauce, place in a bun and enjoy!!
