    Now take the mixture and freeze/ cool it for half an hour.
    • Tip: Make sure that you keep an eye on your mixture since it freezes very fast. It should be frozen at the top with the inner part still liquid. You can check this by pricking your mixture with a toothpick or a sharp object. Don't break it while you try pricking it to find out if its done. It's better you check the mixture once it hits the 15 min mark.
