How to Make Frozen Christmas Pudding

  1. Crush 250g of biscuits finely and place them in a large bowl.
  2. Melt 100g of butter and add it to the biscuit crumbs.
  3. Mix well. Grease a 7-cup pudding bowl and line it completely with the biscuit crumb mixture, pressing firmly to create a solid base.
  4. Refrigerate the bowl until the crumb mixture is firm (approximately 30 minutes).
  5. In a separate bowl, whip 300ml of heavy cream with 50ml of brandy until thick but not stiff.
  6. Gently fold in 200g of fruit mince into the whipped cream mixture.
  7. Spoon the fruit mince and cream mixture into the biscuit-lined bowl.
  8. Use a spatula to smooth the mixture evenly up the sides of the bowl, leaving a hollow center.
  9. Freeze for 1 hour.
  10. In a separate bowl, soften 200ml of vanilla ice cream, being careful not to melt it completely.
  11. Stir in 50g of chocolate chips and 50g of glace cherries into the softened ice cream.
  12. Fill the center cavity of the frozen pudding with the ice cream mixture.
  13. Cover the pudding bowl tightly with plastic wrap and return it to the freezer for at least 24 hours, or preferably longer.
  14. To serve: Invert the bowl onto a serving platter. Place a hot, damp tea towel around the bowl for a few seconds to help release the pudding.
