Christmas Icecream Bomb

For most of my life I lived in the southern hemisphere were

December was hot and icecream was so enjoyable.

Now that we are living in the UK, as a family,

we still enjoy having an icecream pud for Christmas,

instead of the filling fruit and stodge variety

of the traditional Christmas Pudding.

Of course, it has to have some alcohol in it.....

Ingredients:
125ml cherries, cut in half
125ml raisins
100ml brandy or rum
125ml Christmas pudding, crumbled up
60ml chopped walnuts
500ml icecream
a sprig of holly to decorate

Method:
Soak the cherries and raisins in your alcohol of choice for a couple of hours or overnight.
Mix all the ingredients together roughly.
Line a 2L bowl (freezer proof) with cling film and fill with icecream mix.
Put it in the freezer until required.
Remove from the freezer and turn out on a serving dish.
Remove the cling film and top the bomb with a sprig of holly to decorate.
