Method

  1. Combine

    Put the Top ice powder and cold water in the mixing bowl and stir until even.

  2. Chill 2 hours

    Put the mix in the freezer for 2 hours, until very cold.

  3. Whip 5–7 minutes

    Whip with a mixer until it rises like whipped cream.

  4. Freeze

    Transfer to a closed container, then freeze for at least 5 hours (5–7 hours).

  5. Serve

    Serve in cups and add your favourite toppings.

Why chill for 2 hours?

With cold water alone the mix rises less. After 2 hours in the freezer it rises much higher.
