Now being a proud owner of an icecream maker (freecycle) and having made the most delicious apple icecream,
what unusual icecream flavour would be best for christmas?
I was thinking vanilla with some brandy in, but MIL avoids alcohol so perhaps need non-alcoholic alternative
Any suggestions, am salivating already in anticipation.....

Rum & raisin?

Um, no alcohol...whjat about a Christmas pud flavoured one? Sounds gross, but I had a nice version of this a few years ago.

Something with with a bit of spice? or dried fruit?

Rum and raisin, but not sure if rum essence is actually alcoholic.

And so the mince pie flavour is just mincemeat stirred into vanilla?
Has anyone made this ?
Gingerbread ice cream sounds christmassy too

Well I at least now have too many options
cinammon
gingerbread
mincepie
christmas pud
rum and raisin perhaps not quite christmassy enough

I'll just have to forget the maincourse and make all icecream courses instead

This might not help, but DH gets vanilla ice cream, puts it in a blender with christmas pudding, then puts it in a chirstmas pudding bowl and refreezes it.

Chocolate ice cream is the only flavour as far as I am concerned!

I think it would improve christmas pudding no end to be made into icecream LS
I can usually only manage a teaspoon
Hmm, wonder how the DCs would take it (the die hard traditionalists )
