Recipe: Christmas Pudding Ice Cream Sauce

December 16, 2015

Christmas Pudding Sauce
Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

This Christmas Pudding Ice Cream Sauce is just perfect poured over ice cream as a really quick but delicious festive dessert, or as a homemade gift

“Wow, that actually smells just like a Christmas Pudding!”… high praise indeed, and guess what – it tastes just like a Christmas Pudding too.  If you’re in need of a crowd-pleasing festive dessert but don’t want to spend hours in the kitchen, you can’t go wrong with this super-speedy ice cream sauce.

This is simply a (slightly boozy) toffee sauce, with all the best bits of a Christmas pudding piled into it – sultanas, dried figs, orange zest, cinnamon, nutmeg and brandy.  It will take you less than 10 minutes to make, but is memorably good poured (still warm) over a good-quality vegan vanilla ice cream.  After a large-ish lunch I’m not often in the mood for a heavy pudding with custard, but somehow there’s always a little bit of room for a scoop of ice cream.

This would also make a really lovely homemade gift, poured into a sterilised jar and tied with a pretty ribbon.  It will keep for a few months in the fridge.

Servings 1 x 300ml jar

Ingredients
  

  • 50 g dairy-free margarine
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 125 g light brown sugar
  • 100 ml dairy-free cream (oat or soya)
  • 2 tbsp golden syrup or black treacle
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 50 g raisins
  • 25 g chopped dried figs or dates
  • zest of 1 orange
  • 50 ml brandy or sherry

Instructions
 

  • Melt the margarine in a saucepan, and add the cinnamon and nutmeg and stir well to ensure there are no lumps.
  • Add all the remaining ingredients (except the brandy or sherry), and bring to the boil, then simmer for 5 minutes until slightly thickened.
  • Remove from the heat, stir through the brandy or sherry, and leave to cool – it will thicken as it cools.

    Ooh what a fabulous idea! Ice cream is so refreshing after a big meal (especially with our currently tropical Christmas weather!) so this would be perfect!

      Ah Emma you’ve made my day, thank you! So lovely when someone tries a recipe and it isn’t a disaster! ( but I guess with butter, sugar, cream & golden syrup you can’t go too far wrong….)
