Double boozy brandy butter ice-cream

Brandy butter is a mainstay of Christmas cooking for a lot of us; I made two huge jars this year because one is never enough. But two is too many; so here is my fourth way with your leftover brandy butter. If you’re new from the Evening Standard, welcome! I hope that you find loads of useful recipes for your Christmas leftovers.
Discovering no-churn ice-cream was huge for me; when leftover cream sits in the fridge it can be a bore and a pain. Plus the dairy industry uses a whole heap of emissions and
I now keep a tine of condensed milk in the kitchen; it’s cheap and means that I now never, ever waste cream. If you don’t have any boozy cream then you must add a slug of brandy, whiskey or vanilla extract to your cream. Plain cream makes for a flat ice-cream and, well, I have a whole portion to work through (I’m thinking a hot fudge sauce or an expresso poured over will get that one going).
If (if!) you have annoying leftover chocs, you can chop them up and add them in; I went for pounding some salty peanuts and sprinkling them on top. Or do both! A true, proper, leftover busting recipe.
