Don't like Christmas pudding? Sick of Christmas cake? Fed up of mince pies? Then try this for dessert on Christmas day instead. You can put what you want in it, it's entirely up to you. I had some mini marshmallows and bits of chocolate left from our hot chocolate bar the other day. My daughter even gave me-not even begrudgingly- a couple of her mini Mars bars to throw in too. The last time I made this I made my own honeycomb-it's really easy I shall post how soon- but you could try fruit or nuts, anything at all. You start with plain old vanilla ice-cream, again, you could use a different flavour, and add to it what you want. I poured melted white chocolate over mine to look like white sauce on a Christmas pudding but you could use any chocolate and any swiss roll for that matter! But if you want to recreate mine here's what I used.
Chocolate swiss roll
3/4 litre vanilla ice-cream
Mini marshmallows
2 mini Mars bars sliced
50g white chocolate broken
50g milk chocolate broken
100g white chocolate melted for top
Slice the swiss roll into slices 1 cm thick and line a bowl with cling film
Get a child, any will do, to bash up the chocolate into pieces, this works far better if they're in a mood.
Line the bowl with the slices of swiss roll.
Place the ice-cream, marshmallows, chocolate and Mars pieces into a bowl, or mixer, and combine.
Scoop the ice-cream mix into the swiss roll lined bowl and tighten the cling film around the top
Place into the freezer preferably with a side plate on top with something weighing it down
After at least 2 hours turn it out onto a plate pour on the melted white chocolate, decorate and serve
A wow factor for any Christmas party!
