Line a loaf tin with cling wrap and place it in the freezer to chill.
In a bowl whisk the vanilla essence and condensed milk together.
Beat the cream into soft peaks using an electric mixer.
Add the condensed milk with the vanilla essence and the amasi to the whipped cream and continue to mix till everything has been well incorporated.
Once the ice-cream mixture is well-mixed remove from the mixture and fold in the crushed biscuits.
Pour the mixture into the chilled loaf tin and place in the freezer for 3 – 4 hours or until the ice cream has set.
Heat the chocolate, the Steri Stumpie and the marshmallows in a dry, heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water, stirring until melted and smooth (about 10 minutes). Remove from heat and allow to cool to room temperature.
Beat the cream to soft peaks and fold through the chocolate mixture. Pour into glasses or bowls and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight before serving.
Top with a blob of whipped cream and sprinkle with chocolate shavings and mini marshmallows before serving. ENJOY!
