Mint leaves, for garnish 

Method 

1. Whisk the cream into stiff peaks.
2. Whisk the caramel until smooth. 
3. Add of cream to caramel and mix until well combined, then fold remaining cream into caramel mixture. 
4. Pour into a 30x20cm tray and freeze for 8-12 hours or overnight. 
5. Preheat oven to 200°C. Prick pastry all over with a fork and cut into rectangles. 
6. Place on a baking tray and bake for 13-18 minutes or until golden. Cool. 
7. Cut ice cream into the same size as pastry shapes. Refreeze to set, if needed. 
8. Sandwich the ice cream portions between two pastry rectangles. 
9. Serve drizzled with extra caramel, top with toasted nuts or praline and garnish with mint leaves.
