• 1/2 cup butter

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1 tsp ground nutmeg
• 1 tsp ground ginger
• 1/4 tsp ground cloves
• 3 eggs

For the Ice Cream:

• 2 cups heavy cream
• 1 cup whole milk
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 6 egg yolks

Instructions

For the Christmas Pudding:

1. In a large bowl, mix together the raisins, currants, cranberries, apricots, and figs. Pour in the brandy and let it soak for at least 1 hour.
2. In a separate bowl, cream together the butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
3. In another bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves.
4. Add the flour mixture to the butter mixture and mix until well combined.
5. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, until the batter is smooth.
6. Stir in the soaked fruit mixture until evenly distributed.
7. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
8. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
9. Bake for 1 hour, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the pudding cool completely before moving on to the next step.

For the Ice Cream:

1. In a saucepan, heat the heavy cream, milk, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt over medium heat until it reaches a simmer.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks until pale and fluffy.
3. Slowly pour the heated cream mixture into the egg yolks, whisking continuously.
4. Pour the mixture back into the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens and coats the back of a spoon.
5. Remove from heat and strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean bowl.
6. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface of the custard to prevent a skin from forming.
7. Refrigerate until completely chilled.

For the Christmas Pudding Ice Cream:

1. Cut the cooled Christmas pudding into bite-sized pieces and fold them into the chilled custard.
2. Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions.
3. Transfer the ice cream to a freezer-safe container and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until firm.
