- Christmas Pudding Ice-Cream Recipe
- 300ml Semi Skimmed Milk
- 300ml Double Cream
- 1 vanilla pod
- 2 cloves
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 2 cardamom pods
- Pinch grated nutmeg
4 egg yolks100g sugar150g left over Christmas Pudding, crumbled
Add the milk and cream to a saucepan, split the vanilla pod down the middle and scrape out the seeds, add the pod and the seeds to the saucepan. Add the cloves, cinnamon stick, cardamom pods (flatten these with a knife before adding) and the grated nutmeg.Heat the milk on a medium heat until very hot but don’t boil, turn off the heat and let the mixture infuse for 1 hour.Add the egg yolks and sugar to a large bowl and whisk until the mixture is pale and thick, then set aside.When the milk has had time to infuse, pour the mixture through a sieve into a clean pan and reheat the mixture until it is very hot but not boiling.Pour half the infused mixture into the eggs and sugar and whisk briskly and then pour this back into the pan. Re-heat the custard mixture until it thickens and coats the back of a wooden spoon, then remove from the heat and cool.Chill the custard until cold in the fridge, or plunge into an ice bath to speed up the chilling process.When the custard is cold add the custard to the pre-frozen ice cream maker, and churn.When the mixture starts to freeze and form peaks, add the crumbled Christmas pudding and carry on churning until combined.Remove from the unit and serve immediately or place it in a suitable container and place in the freezer for a firmer set.

Ice-cream increases in volume massively during churning and if there was not much space it would result in it spilling over the top or forcing itself into the gears of the motor which will result in the unit not functioning.
