Total: 6h 30m
Ingredients
  • 125g stale sourdough bread, torn into chunks or blitzed into rough crumbs
  • 25g unsalted butter, melted
  • 50g caster sugar
  • 300ml double cream, whipped to soft peaks
  • 397g condensed milk (one standard tin)
  • 2-3 tbsp black treacle, to taste
  • A generous pinch of flaked salt
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C. Toss the sourdough crumbs in the melted butter and caster sugar until fully coated.
  2. Spread on a baking tray and bake for 20 minutes until deeply golden, dark and crunchy. Let cool completely, then blitz into rough, chewy breadcrumbs.
  3. In a large bowl, whip the double cream until it holds soft peaks.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the condensed milk and black treacle until smooth and evenly combined.
  5. Gently fold the whipped cream into the treacle and condensed milk mixture, then fold in most of the toasted sourdough breadcrumbs, reserving a small handful for topping.
  6. Spoon the mixture into a loaf tin or freezer-proof container, scatter the remaining crumbs over the top, and freeze for at least 6 hours until firm. Let it soften at room temperature for 10 minutes before scooping.
