If you want a fuss-free, delicious gluten free dessert for the hot weather, look no further than my homemade Crunchie Ice Cream recipe.
This no-churn ice-cream recipe only needs 4 ingredients, involves only 10 minutes of effort and you don’t even need an ice cream maker.
Being on a gluten free diet means we usually only get to choose the ‘boring’ flavours of ice-cream which is why I wanted to make one that’s super FUN.
And I’m honestly obsessed with how easy this ice cream is to make; being a huge honeycomb fan I absolutely love it.
Plus Cadbury’s Crunchie Bars are gluten free and have no ‘may contain’ warnings so are safe to eat if you have coeliac disease.

Ingredients
There’s a full printable recipe card below with the method – but here are the ingredients you’ll need for the shopping list:
- Condensed Milk – I use one 397g (14 oz) tin of sweetened condensed milk to make ice-cream. Condensed milk is the magic ingredient which means you don’t have to churn this recipe or use an ice-cream maker.
- Double Cream – That’s heavy cream or whipping cream in the US. Don’t try to get away with using any reduced fat products. This only works will the full fat version.
- Cadbury’s Crunchie Bars – You can usually buy two packs of four Crunchies to get the best value. For those who cannot get hold of Crunchie bars, they are basically a bar of honeycomb covered in milk chocolate. Look for hokey poke or sponge candy instead, depending what area of the States you are in. Any chocolate-coated honeycomb candy will work in this ice-cream recipe though.
- Chocolate Chips – This is optional but it’s the more chocolate the better for me! I think they add and add a different texture to the ice-cream. I used the Aldi baking chocolate chips which have no gluten in or may contain warnings.
Don’t forget the full recipe card is below with all the quantities and method.
How to make No Churn Crunchie Ice-Cream
Honestly making this homemade ice-cream recipe is so easy you’re going to wonder why you haven’t done it sooner.
You basically whip the double cream and condensed milk for a few minutes until it has started to thicken up.
Add chopped Crunchie bars and chocolate chips and then freeze. That’s literally it!
The base works so well for all sorts of flavour combinations so you can also use this base recipe for anything you like.
I love my Strawberry Cheesecake Ice-Cream and Gluten Free Cookie Dough Ice-Cream and make them a lot!
And if you have any leftover Crunchie bars (as if!) you can make the best gluten free rocky roads out of them too.

I know I often give dairy free versions of my recipes too but as this relies so heavily on dairy in every ingredient I don’t yet have a vegan/dairy free version. Plus Cadbury’s Crunchie Bars contain dairy so there is no substitution for them.
Yes, you can! I don’t know about you, but I just don’t have space in my kitchen for any more gadgets – especially when it’s so rarely ice-cream weather! Luckily the condensed milk is the magic ingredient which means you don’t need to churn this ice-cream recipe or use an ice-cream maker.
Yes! Some Cadbury’s products are not gluten free but Crunchie Bars do not contain any gluten and have no ‘may contain’ warnings either.
