Cheats Vanilla Star Christmas Pudding Ice-Cream Sandwiches

October 25, 2022

Ingredients

Star Biscuit

125g Unsalted Butter, chopped and softened
1/2 Cup Caster Sugar
1 Egg
2 tsp Vanilla Extract
1 1/2 Cups Plain Flour, sifted

Pudding Ice-Cream

4L store bought Vanilla Ice-Cream, softened
300g store bought Christmas Pudding, chopped
1 tbs Brandy

Method

1. First make the pudding ice-cream by placing the ice-cream in an electric mixer and beating on low speed until softened (might be best to do this in two batches). Add the Christmas Pudding and Brandy and mix to combine.

2. Press the Ice-Cream into a slice tin lined with non-stick paper and freeze for 2 hours.

3. While the ice-cream is freezing, place the butter and sugar in a bowl and beat for 8-10mins (or until pale and creamy). Add the egg and vanilla and beat for a further 2-3mins or until well combined.

4. Add the flour and beat until a smooth dough forms. roll the dough out between 2 sheets of non-stick baking paper and refrigerate for 30mins (or until firm).

5. Pre-heat oven to 160°C. Use a star cookie cutter (or whatever cookie cutter you like) to cut out shapes, re-rolling the dough if necessary. Place the cookies on lightly greased baking trays lined with non-stick baking paper.

6. Cook for 12-15 mins, or until dry to the touch. Set aside to cool on the trays for 5mins before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.

7. Using the same cutter, cut out shapes from the ice-cream and sandwich with the biscuits. 

8. Freeze until ready to serve.
