Ice cream bombe

Ingredients

1 x 284 ml carton double cream
1 x 200 ml carton crème fraiche
200 ml (7 fl oz) milk
4 egg yolks
125 g (5 oz) Tate & Lyle Fairtrade Caster Sugar
350 g (12 oz) Christmas cake
Redcurrants to garnish

Place cream, crème fraiche and milk in a pan and bring gently to a simmer. Whisk eggs and sugar together. Pour hot cream mix into eggs, beating. Pour back into pan and continue to heat, stirring, until mix thickens enough to coat back of a spoon. Cool. Pour into a shallow freezer-proof container and freeze for 1 hour. Beat mix to break up any ice crystals. Crumble in cake and mix gently. Spoon into 6 small pudding moulds or ramekins. Freeze until solid. Before serving, dip each mould into hot water to loosen pudding and turn onto plates. Garnish with redcurrants.
