Mixed with crunchy baklava pieces and frozen until firm, this dessert is a celebration of textures and flavors. Serve it with extra baklava pieces on top for a truly luxurious treat that beautifully showcases the versatility and rich taste of Wild Nectar honey.

The Ingredients:
- 1 cup chopped walnuts
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 4 phyllos pastry sheets
- 100g butter melted
- 1 cup Wild Nectar Organic Ironbark Honey for drizzling
- 600ml thickened (heavy) cream
- 390ml can condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon honey

- Mix all the ice cream Ingredients into a bowl of a stand mixer and mix on medium for 8 minutes until soft peaks.
