Chef's Notes
You can put all ingredients into the blender at one time just like our traditional recipes, but by blending the base first you are assured of a very smooth texture with no small pieces.

Sounds tasty
But this is not ice cream. Rather, this is frozen yogurt. The recipe name is misleading.

Delicious and so easy!
I had a packet of chestnuts left over from last christmas so decided to test this recipe out. I added a tablespoon of dark rum and it was delicious. Really quick and easy to make, I'll certainly be making this over christmas.
