FAQs

Can I make this without a biscuit base?

Yes, you can skip the base and simply freeze the ice cream mixture in a lined pan.

Do I have to soften the ice cream first?

Yes, softened ice cream makes it easier to mix evenly with the honeycomb and cream.

Can I use homemade honeycomb?

Absolutely! Homemade honeycomb adds a fresh, crunchy texture, but store-bought works too.

What’s the best way to cut the slice neatly?

Use a sharp knife dipped in hot water, wiping clean between cuts.

Can I make this ahead of time?

Can I use low-fat or dairy-free ice cream?

Yes, just note that texture and flavor may vary slightly.

How do I prevent the honeycomb from going sticky?

Keep the dessert tightly covered in the freezer and only add extra honeycomb on top just before serving.

Can I add chocolate?

Definitely—melted chocolate drizzle or chocolate chips mix in beautifully with the honeycomb.

Can I double the recipe?

Yes, simply use a larger dish and double all ingredients.

Does it melt quickly once sliced?

It holds up well for a few minutes, but serve immediately after slicing to prevent melting.
