Don't like Christmas pudding? Like rocky road? Try this for dessert on Christmas day. 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 week and my daughter 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 (You-tube tutorial to follow 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 basically 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 (works even better if they're in a mood)
Place the slices of swiss roll into the bowl
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!
