Well done asha...looks great. When we made it last summer, we too thought it didn't need the chocolate either.

Nah, am gonna put the choc in first time and then make a decision. I always think if you are going to have dessert why count calories.

At last I have someone coming to dinner that will enjoy this. I am making it now. Will report back.

Cookie i dont think this thread should be bumped.
Those photos make me salivate.

Please tell me what 'bumped' means to a forum beginner.

Troupie, whenever anyone respond to a thread, it gets bumped which means it shows up in our unread posts for the day.  A lot of us read everything that is posted so it's a good way to bring our attention to something.

I churned the icecream when I got home today and did the base before I went out. It's in the freezer now. I licked the bowl of course and it tasted lovely.

I'm just wondering if I could make this for my dad's birthday on Sunday, and transport it in on of those silver freezer bags for 1 1/2 hours approx? Hmmn

Do they keep things frozen well? An alternate idea may be to make the icecream and leave it in a tin or something and have the nuts ready and the caramel in a bowl. Then serve it as icecream, with the topping and nuts. It may stay better frozen in a smaller lump.

They are pretty darn good. The sort I have is a Thermabag which is like a sliver plastic bag. On Christmas Day I had a couple of salads with a bit of ice in the bag, underneath a blanket in the back of the car which was in full sun for about 4 hours  (while we were at lunch at stop #1). That was a gamble - but when I got back to the car and checked with great trepidation, the ice had not even melted and they were perfect. I might just take the risk again, cos I can always pop it in the freezer when I get there to firm up.

CP I do a bag within a bag to transport frozen stuff. Put that divine looking dessert (that I can't look at anymore without wanting to make it) in a freezer bag on top of a layer of gel ice packs. Everything already frozen for as long as possible of course. Remove as much air as possible, then place inside another freezer bag or esky. Again remove as much air as possible ( I use a towel or tea towels to fill the space). Works a treat and should be fine for 1 1/2 hours although you will probably need to firm it up again after the trip.

thanks djinni, I'll let you know how it goes. I'm deciding between a Banana Caramel Layer cake
