In my opinion, the best thing about Christmas pudding is turning it into ice cream! This is a really easy way to do that without an ice cream machine or the faff of making your own egg custard (although if you want to do that, here's how I used to do it - before discovering this no-churn method!). The whole point is to be able to whip it up in 5 minutes and forget about it until the next day.
Ingredients
- 500ml double cream
- 397g tin condensed milk
- 3 tbsp spiced rum
- 1 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- Pinch of ground cloves
- Pinch of salt
- 300g Christmas pudding, steamed, cooled and crumbled
Method
- With an electric whisk, beat together the cream, condensed milk, rum, spices and salt, until it holds peaks.
- Add the Christmas pudding and fold it in until evenly distributed.
- Tip into a 900g loaf tin or container and freeze for at least 5 hours, or overnight.
- Before serving, remove from the freezer for 5 minutes, then scoop and serve.
This tasted so good at our family lunch today, Charlie, and the recipe looks very simple. I am going to make it for my Book Group Christmas Feast next Friday. Thank you...and how lovely to see your blog in action again.
