The Ingredients You'll Need
Fruit Mixture
First and foremost, you'll need to gather the ingredients for the fruit mixture. This is what will give your ice cream cake that signature Christmas pudding flavor. You'll need dates, raisins, currants, candied orange peel, and brandy. Soak the fruits in the brandy for a few hours or overnight to help infuse the flavors.
Ice Cream Layers
Next, you'll need to have your ice cream layers ready. You can use any flavor of ice cream that you like, but we recommend vanilla or rum and raisin to complement the flavors of the fruit mixture. Be sure to have these ice creams softened and ready to spread in the cake tin.
Cake Base
To create the base of the cake, you'll need crushed gingerbread cookies, butter, and cinnamon. This will add a delicious crunch and spice to the cake, perfect for the holiday season.
Assembling the Cake
Once you have all your ingredients ready, it's time to assemble the cake. Start by lining a 9-inch springform cake tin with parchment paper. This will make it easier to remove the cake once it's frozen. Next, press the gingerbread cookie mixture into the bottom of the tin to create the base. Then, layer the softened ice cream on top, alternating between the vanilla and rum and raisin flavors. Finally, top the ice cream with the soaked fruit mixture and freeze for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Serving and Decorating
When it's time to serve, remove the cake from the freezer and let it sit for a few minutes to soften slightly. This will make it easier to slice. Decorate the top with candied cherries and chocolate shavings for a festive touch. You can also drizzle some brandy sauce on top for an extra indulgent treat.
This Christmas pudding ice cream cake is a delicious twist on a traditional holiday dessert. Enjoy the combination of rich fruit, creamy ice cream, and warm spices in every bite. Your guests will be impressed with this unique and festive dessert. Give this recipe a try and make your holiday celebrations even sweeter!
