JAMIE'S LEFTOVER CHRISTMAS PUDDING AND ICE CREAM SUNDAE
Steps:
- What I'm giving you here is really more of a suggestion because the amount of Christmas pudding you'll have leftover will really depend on how greedy your guests were on Christmas day. But personally, I love Christmas pudding and I think it's almost worth having another pudding stashed away so you can make this as an after-Christmas treat.
- Put a pan over a medium heat and crumble in your Christmas pudding. Squash it down a bit with a wooden spoon to help it heat up and get a bit crispy. Fry for about 4 to 5 minutes, stirring every so often so it doesn't catch.
- In another small pan on a low heat, add your cranberry sauce with a splash of red or mulled wine. Stir in and cook for a few minutes until warmed through. Cook's Note: If your sauce is too tart for your liking, add 1 teaspoon or 2 of sugar. If you've made up a batch of my spiced sugar, then use that because it will be delicious with the cranberry.
- Once your pudding is warm and slightly crispy and the sauce has heated up, divide 1/2 of your pudding evenly among your 4 glasses or bowls. Add a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top of the pudding, drizzle over your hot cranberry sauce, and a good sprinkling of toasted flaked almonds. Divide the remaining Christmas pudding among your glasses and layer again with ice cream, cranberry sauce, and flaked almonds. Finish the sundae off by grating over a bit of nice dark chocolate and dig in before the ice cream melts.

We have this pudding always as a dessert at Christmas...not because I like it so much but because my husband is English. There is always pudding left and this dessert I do like! It also works well with fruit cake and if you don't want to use alcohol... substitute with orange juice

Tips:
- Choose high-quality ingredients: The better the quality of the ingredients you use, the better the ice cream will taste. Use fresh, full-fat milk and cream, and high-quality chocolate and vanilla extract. Try to use organic, local ingredients wherever possible.
- Don't overmix the ice cream base: Overmixing the ice cream base will incorporate too much air, which will make the ice cream icy. Mix the base just until the ingredients are combined.
- Chill the ice cream base thoroughly: Chilling the ice cream base before churning it will help the ice cream to set up properly. Chill the base for at least 4 hours, or overnight.
- Churn the ice cream according to the manufacturer's instructions: Each ice cream maker is different, so follow the manufacturer's instructions for churning the ice cream. In general, you will need to churn the ice cream for 20-30 minutes, or until it is thick and creamy.
- Freeze the ice cream for at least 4 hours before serving: Freezing the ice cream for at least 4 hours will allow it to firm up and develop its full flavor.
- Store the ice cream in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks: Leftover ice cream can be stored in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
