Pack the ice cream into a storage container, folding in the chopped almond brittle as you go. Press a sheet of parchment directly against the surface, and seal with an airtight lid.

Immediately pour the melted butter into a bowl. (If the solids get a little too dark, you can strain them out and discard them.).
• Rinse out and dry the saucepan. Put half the sugar in the pan, and half into a blender. Add the milk to the saucepan, and place over low heat, stirring well to dissolve the sugar.
