Caramel squares

Cook a mix of hazelnut spread, condensed milk and butter for five minutes, add chocolate and stir. Pour over brownie in the tray. Let it cool and refrigerate.
Mango ice cream
Mix together condensed milk, fresh cream and some mango puree in a large bowl until it is thick. Let it set in the freezer for about two hours. Take it out and blend again until the mixture is smooth. This will ensure your ice cream is smooth and creamy. Shove it in the freezer to set. Serve chilled with fresh mango pieces for garnish.
