Not strictly a recipe, more of a serving suggestion for two of my other recipes...the decadent ice creams linked below. Easy once you get your head around the shape. Hopefully I will be seeing a few of these on Facebook as you all get organised for the season and want to socially share your achievements! I have a cassata dream that may appear on here sooner or later as well, in the meantime...this is pretty darn great! And certainly more Aussie appropriate than the good ole traditional steamed pudding version, not that I have any problem with tradition. There is a pudding-ish recipe in Merry Christmix the original ebook...steamed and everything! Go get it! (Or just get that ice cream on...enjoy!)
