Pudding Ice Cream 4 Butterscotch Crunch Food

EASY CHRISTMAS PUDDING ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Whisk the egg yolks and sugar with an electric whisk for 10 mins until pale and thick. Break up the Christmas pudding with a fork and stir it into the egg mixture so it is evenly distributed, then pour in the brandy and mix again.
• In a separate bowl, whip the cream until it holds soft peaks, then fold it into the mixture with a large metal spoon. Pour into a freezer-proof container, cover well and freeze for several hours until set.

SWEET CORN ICE CREAM WITH BUTTERSCOTCH

Steps:

• Make the butterscotch
• Combine the cream, Scotch, and salt in a measuring cup with a spout. Use a knife to scrape the seeds of the vanilla bean into the cup and stir well.
• Combine the granulated sugar, butter, brown sugar, corn syrup, and 1/4 cup of water in a medium saucepan with high sides. Set it over high heat and bring to a boil. Attach a candy thermometer to the pan and boil until the mixture reaches 245ºF. Remove the pan from the heat and gradually whisk in the cream mixture. Let the mixture cool to room temperature. You'll have about 1 cup of butterscotch.
• Use straightaway or stir once more and keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks. Gently reheat until warm before using.
• Make the ice cream
• Cut the corn kernels from the cobs, reserving the cobs. Cut the cobs crosswise into a few pieces. Combine the kernels and cobs in a medium pot along with the cream, milk, salt, and 1/4 cup of the sugar. Bring the liquid to a simmer, stirring occasionally, over medium-high heat, then turn off the heat, cover the pot, and let the mixture steep at room temperature for at least 2 hours or in the fridge for as long as 12 hours. Remove the cobs, gently scraping them with a spoon to get at any liquid that may be hiding in them, and discard the cobs. Strain the remaining mixture through a sieve into a clean medium pot, stirring and pressing on the kernels to release as much corn flavor as possible. Discard the kernels.
• Bring the milk mixture to a simmer over medium heat and turn off the heat. Combine the egg yolks and the remaining 1/2 cup of sugar in a medium mixing bowl and whisk until smooth. Slowly but steadily add about 3/4 cup of the milk mixture to the yolk mixture, whisking constantly. Then slowly but steadily add the yolk mixture to the pot, again whisking constantly. Cook over medium-low heat, whisking constantly and adjusting the heat if necessary to maintain a simmer, until the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 10 minutes.
• Strain the mixture again through a sieve into a medium mixing bowl, pressing and then discarding the solids. Fill a larger bowl halfway with very icy water and nestle the medium bowl inside. Stir frequently until the mixture is cold. Cover the medium bowl and chill in the fridge for at least 4 hours or overnight.
• Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and process according to the manufacturer's instructions. Transfer the ice cream to an airtight container and freeze until firm. Serve straightaway or keep the ice cream in the freezer for up to 3 days.
• When you're ready to eat, scoop the ice cream into bowls, drizzle on some butterscotch, and top with caramel popcorn.

SELF-SAUCING BUTTERSCOTCH PUDDING

Steps:

• Boil the kettle and heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Butter a rectangular baking dish (about 20cm x 28cm and 4cm deep). Tip the flour, baking powder, 140g sugar and a large pinch of salt in a bowl. Put the butter, milk and eggs in a jug and whisk together. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and mix well. Scrape into the baking dish and level the surface.
• Mix the remaining sugar with the golden syrup and caramel, add 300ml boiling water and stir until the sugar and caramel dissolves. Pour the hot liquid over the pud, then bake for 1 hr until the top is set and the sauce is starting to bubble around the edges. Serve hot with ice cream. If you leave this pudding to sit, the sauce will soak into the sponge, so eat immediately.
