Easy Christmas Pudding Ice-Cream

Ingredients:

• 100g mixed dried fruit 
• 50g glace cherries
• 1/2 cup brandy
• 1/2 teaspoon mixed spice
• 1 litre good quality vanilla ice-cream

Method:

1. Place the dried fruit, brandy, orange zest and juice in a large bowl and allow to soak for an hour or overnight.
2. Remove the ice-cream from the freezer and allow to soften slightly.
3. Add ice-cream to the fruit, add the mixed spice and stir to combine.
4. Cover with plastic wrap and re-freeze.

Serve with some raspberries.

Make individual serves by placing the ice-cream mix into individual half-cup moulds.
To serve, dip the bottom of each mould in warm water for 10 seconds, then invert onto serving plates. If they don't come out of the moulds, dip the base in water again. If they have melted too much, put plate back in freezer until set.
