  • 600ml cream
  • 2 egg yolks
  • 1/3 cup castor sugar
  • 1/3 cup golden syrup
  • 1 tablespoon brandy
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
 Toast the Macadamias in the oven until they are a golden brown. Make a custard sauce by stirring together the cream, egg yolks and sugar over medium heat. Continue stirring until just thickened and immediately pour through a strainer to stop cooking. Do not let it boil or it will curdle. Stir in the remaining ingredients while still warm, then allow to cool thoroughly. Pour into an ice cream machine and churn according to the machine instructions until set. Midway through the churning, add the toasted Macadamia pieces. If using roasted Macadamia nuts, do not brown them in the oven.
