Ingredients

For the shortbread ice cream:

4 Walker's Festive Shortbread Fingers, chopped

6 fl oz heavy cream

6 fl oz milk

⅛ cup sugar

½ vanilla bean pod

¼ teaspoon sea salt

For the crumble:

4 Walker's Shortbread Fingers

2 ⅓ cup flour

¾ cup butter, cubed and chilled

4 Walker's Shortbread Fingers, broken into chunks

1 tsp cinnamon

⅓ cup brown sugar

½ cup sugar

½ tsp salt

14.1 oz cooking apples

7.1 oz blackberries

Method

To make the ice cream, over a low heat, warm the milk, heavy cream, sugar, seeds from the vanilla pod and the scraped pod and sea salt in a saucepan until the sugar has dissolved. Remove from the heat and leave to infuse for 30 minutes. Pour into a container, using parchment on the surface of the liquid to stop a skin from forming. Place in the fridge to cool completely.

When the ice cream mixture is cold, remove the vanilla pod and pour into an ice cream machine for 30 minutes. Then, add the Walker’s Festive Shortbread Fingers chunks and let churn for another 5 minutes. Place into the freezer to solidify for at least 2 hours.

Add the flour and butter in a large mixing bowl and rub together until the mixture resembles large breadcrumbs.

To the bowl add the Walker’s Festive Shortbread Fingers chunks, cinnamon, sugar, oats & salt and stir to combine. Put this in the freezer to chill whilst you prepare the fruit. Preheat the oven to 340 ºF.

Peel, core and chop the apple into chunks. Toss them into a baking dish and top with the blackberries.

Cover with the crumble mixture and bake for 40 minutes.

Serve the crumble with a scoop of ice cream. Enjoy!
