Which mince pie team are you: cream, ice cream or custard?

[BeanQuisine]

I'm normally team custard, but have enjoyed them with ice cream, though it's a strong contrast since I always heat my mince pies.

I have a friend who dunks them, cold, in her tea, which I haven't yet tried.

Soft blue cheese spread on top, delicious!

It sounds so wrong yet so right.

Another one for team custard.

However, I might freeze some mince pies when they’re on offer and mash them up into some vanilla ice cream for the summer 😋.

If you like quince jelly / fig jam, etc with your blue cheese then this is definitely one to try.

What filth is this? Brandy butter is compulsory!

Alcohol laced cream, I'm not a big drinker so enough on for me to be tipsy lol. I'm pregnant this Christmas so won't be bothering with mince pies at all this year.

They are nice crumbled into an ice-cream sundae.... Especially with cinnamon ice-cream!!
If on there own a bit of cream (plant based for the dairy intolerant)

Warm with thick double cream or room temperature on their own.

I am willing to give the Stilton variation a go. This thread has made me really look forward to mince pie season.

Brandy butter and clotted cream!

I absolutely love all the jams and chutneys with blue cheeses so I am so on it! Thankyou 🤤

Unadorned. And not until Advent which this year is an early one starting in November.

Boozy Christmas cream every time for me!

I just have them unadulterated , had my first one today actually , and my second , third scheduled for supper

Baileys cream for me

Mince pie warmed in the oven, nothing else required! 🤩🤩

First choice is a warm mince pie with brandy butter. If brandy butter isnt an option then custard, I really dislike cream.

Brandy cream

Personally, I think mince pies should be eaten just as they come. However, Christmas pudding should come with those extras, preferably custard or brandy cream.

Hard sauce. Slightly melted on the hot mince pie. Yum! 🌲

Does no one have them with evaporated milk?

Homemade brandy butter the best hands down, failing that I'll take shop brought brandy butter or cream (preferably baileys cream)

Warm the mince pie, pry up the lid, put in a dollop of clotted cream, replace lid and eat with care.

What?! None of the above. Brandy butter, obviously.

Definitely not.
