- Add the fruit mixture, 1/2 cup chocolate chips, and 1/2 cup chopped nuts to the ice cream.
- Quickly stir until all ingredients are well combined. Do not overmix.
- Line a 9-cup capacity pudding basin or bowl with plastic wrap, leaving some overhang to help with unmolding.

- Smooth the surface of the ice cream mixture.
- Cover the pudding basin tightly with plastic wrap.
- Freeze overnight.
- To serve, carefully unmold the ice cream pudding onto a serving platter.

- **For the chocolate sauce:** In a small saucepan, combine 1/4 cup water, 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 2 tablespoons butter, and 2 tablespoons granulated sugar.
- Stir over low heat for 4 minutes, or until the mixture boils and the sugar is dissolved.
- Remove from heat and add 2 ounces of chopped dark chocolate.
- Stir until the chocolate is melted and the sauce is smooth.
- Stir in 1 tablespoon of brandy (optional).
