VEGEMITE ice cream sends Aussies into meltdown

VEGEMITE ice cream is coming to Australia just in time for summer, so of course we had to give it a taste test!

The popular Aussie spread announced that they'd be releasing 'VEGEMITE' icy poles in a tweet yesterday afternoon, sending social media users into overdrive. "Brace yourselves Australia... it's time for VEGEMITE Icy Poles!" it read.

They also released a recipe so that Aussies can make them for themselves at home.

INGREDIENTS
2/3 cup caster sugar
1/2 cup cocoa
1/4 cup honey
2 tablespoon Vegemite
3 teaspoons cornflour
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup milk
1 cup thickened cream, whipped

INSTRUCTIONS
Combine in a saucepan the sugar, cocoa, honey, Vegemite, corn flour and milk.

Whisk over a medium heat until the mixture is smooth, bring to the boil, reduce the heat and simmer gently until slightly thickened and custard like.

Remove from the heat, pour into a heat proof bowl and chill. Fold the whipped cream through the chilled custard mixture then pour into popsicle moulds.

Freeze until firm.

We whipped it up so Kochie and the Newsfeed panel could have a taste-test this morning and reactions were most definitely mixed! Watch the video above.
