Frozen Christmas Bombe/Granddad's Ice-cream...
A few years ago I found a recipe for this ice-cream and the picture looked good and thought I would give it a go... even though temperatures generally reach around the 45 mark here at Christmas and the freezer situation was crap as we didn't have 24 hour power... well it was a hit especially with my father-in-law who's comment was ''you can make that again''... which I have done every Christmas since with a few changes... my father-in-law died 2 yrs ago and each Christmas since the kids have said ''don't forget granddad's ice-cream'' hence the new name for it... so it is now a tradition at Christmas to have the ice-cream in memory of Granddad...

The gathered ingredients... soaking fruit, frozen berries, choc chips and toasted flaked almonds...
Whipped cream and condensed milk...
Ingredients all added...
Mix them altogether...
Into the prepared bowl and straight into the chest freezer...
Now we do have 24 hr power ''solar power'' it freezes so much better and I don't have to fight with the gas fridge freezer...

Recipe....
1 cup mixed dried fruit... I use sultana and raisin
1/4 cup of sliced glaced cherries... I use dried cranberries
2 tbls brandy
1 x 395g can condensed milk... put in fridge to get really cold
600 mls thickened cream
1/2 cup dark choc chips
1/2 cup white choc chips
1/2 cup toasted flaked almonds
1 cup frozen mixed berries or more if you like

Combine dried fruit and cherries with brandy and let sit for 30 mins
Line a 6 cup capacity bowl with plastic wrap
Beat condensed milk and cream with an electric mixer until double in size and thick
Fold through all other ingredients
Pour into prepared bowl
Place in freezer for several days... I try and make mine a week before so it is really frozen
Turn out onto a plate and slice like traditional pudding...
