Daim Bar Ice Cream at the Fringe

Back for another helping of ice cream and comedy at the Lemoncustard Comedy Club, we followed on the previous week’s successful chocolate chip cookie dough. I don’t often do chunky style ice creams, but am becoming a big fan.

My friend John was shopping at some obscure Scandinavian furniture shop and had the epiphanic idea to chop up some Daim bars and stir them into a batch of vanilla ice cream. So that’s just what we did…

I had never heard of these mysterious Daim bars, but apparently they’re a lot like armadillos. Basically you’ve got a thin layer of chocolate around a bar of hardened caramel. Chopped up they look a bit less like an armadillo:

As is obviously necessary, I donned a special “ice cream hat” (a gift from by brother Cole) and an Armenian waistcoat (a gift from Big D) to crank up the vanilla ice cream.

When it was pretty hard, we stirred in the Daim bars.

Dee got so excited, she had to taste it before the crowd got their grubby hands on our dessert.

But luckily she left just enough for the eager audience.
