kerravonsen: Jarod investigating ice cream: Genius at work (icecream)
I've finally got around to posting my Christmas Pudding Ice Cream recipe on my website: http://www.katspace.org/gusto/recipes/Christmas_Pudding_Ice_Cream/

I've made it on previous Christmases, and my family seemed to like it. There are two kinds of "Christmas Pudding Ice Cream" that I've come across: one is where one takes vanilla ice cream and mixes in pieces of Christmas Pudding (and/or dried fruit) and re-freezes it. That's the most common kind. The other kind is where one makes the ice-cream oneself, with an ice-cream maker. My recipe is the latter kind. It was based on a recipe I found on the net (which has since vanished) but I tweaked it quite a bit.

My secret ingredient? Oats. Pureed and soaked and pureed again, one gets a thick and creamy "goop" which gives the ice cream a pudding/cake undertone. The yoghurt lightens that up again. And of course the dried fruit and brandy and honey and spices give it the delicous flavours.

THANK YOU to [livejournal.com profile] reynardo for the Christmas card (featuring Severus and Lucius and a ... rhyme) which was delightful. Thank you!

Also, Youngest Niece is staying with me as part of the Family Christmas migration. There was much shuffling around as we discovered there had been a communication breakdown as to who was staying where, but it's all sorted now.

My holiday starts tomorrow.
