We'll have to give that a test. Thanks! What a great idea to chill the honeycomb pieces first! We’ll have to give that a test. Thanks!

Instead of leaving my honeycomb on the counter until I make the ice cream, I freeze it over night. I know that sugar doesn't freeze but cold sugar must work better I guess. So I would recommend larger chunks of honeycomb as you suggested (I did the size of American quarters and dimes) and freezing the honeycomb over night before making the ice cream. Love your blog. From a small town in Montana USA, My wife and I want to go Ireland one day and can't wait to visit one of your shops. Or all of them!! Just wanted to say thanks for responding Kieran.

It is a tricky flavour. We've always had some of our pieces dissolve as well. Freezing them faster helps, which is easy for us to say, since we have a blast chiller. However, if there's any way you can make your freezer colder, you'll notice a difference. Whats frustrating is as they melt, the sugar content of the ice cream rises, which makes the freezing process slower, which further exacerbates the problem. Larger pieces could help, or you could try letting the ice cream harden for half an hour or so after you take it from the machine, then stir them in. Finally, you could hold some back and serve them over the ice cream upon serving. Not ideal, I know, but at least they would be hard! I hope that's some help. Thanks for that and for commenting.

Question. When I add the honeycomb when ice cream is almost solid. The honeycomb is nice and hard. I put the ice cream in the freezer to harden it up after I take it out of our ice cream machine. When it comes time to eat :) the Honeycomb has mostly dissolved into making more of a caramel ripple. How can i keep my honey comb crunchy? any suggestions? Am I adding to much or maybe I need larger chunks... Thanks for your help! Sam Hi Kieran- Love your blog and this ice cream in particular. Question.

Yes, you can simply cover the ice cream mix and put in the freezer, stirring every few hours to break up the ice crystals. Hi Rahul!
