Didn’t get around to making a plum pudding yet? Why don’t you try this ice cream one. No need to make it months in advance, the night before will be fine. All you have to do is cut up the fruit, add in the spices and gelatine, stir through the ice cream and put it back in the freezer till you need it. Merry Christmas…..
As well as not making a traditional Christmas Cake this year, I’m also not going to make a traditional boiled Christmas Pudding. I’ve decided to make a frozen one. I thought I’d make one I’ve made a few times before, but then I found this recipe and now might change my mind. It can be made as late as Christmas Eve and although it says to freeze it in a lamington tray, I sure if you put it in a bowl lined with plastic wrap when you turn it out – bingo you’ve got a Christmas pudding. You could even cover it in chocolate and decorations if you wanted to.
The frozen Christmas pudding I usually make has an ice cream base. This one is a little bit different, it still has decadent brandy soaked fruit, but also has lashings of cream, some white chocolate and meringue. I’ve already made a boiled pudding for this year, but think I might give this one a go next year.
Although Mum always made a hot Christmas Pudding I found this recipe for a frozen pudding in her collection and while it’s similar to my version it has some different ingredients and I’m sure would taste great.
