After reading the xmas cake thread it got me thinking about a delicous dessert we used to have at Christmas. But i dont have the recipe. As far as I can remember it had ice cream, coco, rum, cherries, fruit and nuts. It was made in a glass basin and frozen then taken out and tipped upside down like a igloo! - Does anyone have the real recipe for this - or shall I just stumble along with ingredients??

Delia Smith does a frozen christmas pudding ice cream that sounds similar to that ... It's gorgeous, but I made the mistake of making extra glace fruits and marinating them for about six months, blimey they were dangerous
