Macadamia and Caramel Ice Cream
We can't have ice cream in summer because our freezer dies in summer. Then in winter, when it's not so hot, it works again. We have been putting off replacer our fridge/freezer because well, by the time we get around to it, it's winter again. This has been happening for the last 2 summers. Either way, winter has become to perfect time for us to make our own ice cream!
