Imperial
- 200g of christmas pudding
- 500ml of milk
- 1 vanilla pod
- 7 egg yolks
- 250g of caster sugar
- 300ml of double cream
- 5 drops of vanilla essence
Equipment
- Ice cream maker
Method
1
Split the vanilla pod lengthways with the tip of a sharp knife and scrape the inside to remove the seeds. Add both the pod and the seeds to a heavy-based saucepan with the milk and bring to the boil. Once boiling, remove from the heat and set aside - remember to remove the scraped out vanilla pod
- 1 vanilla pod
- 500ml of milk
2
In a separate bowl, whisk together the sugar and egg yolks until creamy in colour. Then, gradually whisk in the hot milk
- 7 egg yolks
- 250g of caster sugar
3
Pour the mixture into a separate saucepan over a low-medium heat and keep stirring with a wooden spoon until the mix thickens in consistency enough to coat the back of the spoon. Do not allow to boil as the mix will curdle
4
Gently incorporate the crumbled Christmas pudding and continue to stir gently

Meanwhile, whip the double cream until soft peaks form and add to the bowl, along with the drops of vanilla essence

Churn in an ice cream maker, or if you do not have this piece of equipment, simply place the mix into the freezer and whisk every once in a while until it has frozen
