Ice Cream Christmas Pudding
Christmas pudding is a classic dessert during the festive season. This tasty ice cream Christmas pudding is a frozen twist and it's so tasty, you will want to go back for seconds. By using a bit of rum to make the ice cream, you avoid having a frozen solid block of ice and instead get a creamy texture that is easy to slice. Keep in the freezer until serving as dessert for your Christmas lunch.

- Whisk again Speed 3 / 20 seconds.
- Pour the mincemeat and egg yolks in a large metal bowl. Add the double cream and meringue and fold under until it is all combined but still fluffy.
- Pour into the prepared metal bowl with clingfilm and freeze overnight.
- Just before serving, tip the bowl upside down onto a serving dish and tap the edges. You can also put a hot cloth on top of the bowl to release the ice cream easier. Remove the bowl and clingfilm and serve immediately.
