Wowza! I found this in a NZ cookbook. I miss it so much that I just had to make it. Ingredients:
1/2 cup sultana |
1/2 cup currants |
1/2 cup chopped raisins |
1/4 cup dessert fig, finely chopped |
1/2 cup brandy |
10 plump dried apricots, chopped |
2 liters good quality vanilla ice cream, softened |
50 g dark chocolate, chopped |
1/2 cup sliced almonds, toasted |
Directions:
1. You will also require 1 packet each of red and green cherries.
2. Combine the sultanas, currants, raisins and figs.
3. Add the brandy and dried fruits, cover, and soak for 12-24 hours, stirring occasionally.
4. Mix the soaked fruits, ice cream, chocolate and almonds together.
5. Line a large pudding bowl, basin or loaf pan with plastic wrap so that it hangs well over the sides.
6. Spoon the mixture into the container, smooth the surface and cover with the overhanging sides of plastic wrap.
7. Freeze until firm.
8. To serve turn onto a chilled serving platter and surround with seasonal berries.
9. Can be stored for up to 6 weeks in the freezer.
