  • 60 g brown sugar
  • 3 large eggs, separated

  • Once cool, break the caramelised breadcrumbs into small bite-sized pieces.
  • Whisk the egg whites until stiff peaks form.
  • In a separate bowl, mix the egg yolks with the whisky. Fold the egg yolk mixture into the whisked egg whites.

  • Using a metal spoon, fold the whisked cream and the caramelised breadcrumbs into the egg mixture.
  • Transfer into a freezer-proof container and freeze for at least 4 hours before serving.
