Gluten Free Mince Pie Ice Cream

Just when I thought you can’t beat a mince pie, we decided to pop it into ice-cream. This is a great way to use up leftover mince-pies, homemade or shop bought. It’s good because once made it will last a month in the freezer.

Ingredients

  • 600ml pot double cream
  • 1 tsp mixed spice
  • 1 tsp vanilla essence 
  • 3 large egg yolks
  • 100g golden caster sugar
  • 3 gluten-free mince pies

Method

  1. Place the cream, mixed spices, and vanilla in a saucepan, and gently heat for 3 minutes, stirring once or twice. 
  2. Meanwhile, whisk the yolks and sugar together. Whisk the hot cream into the egg mix, then tip the mix into a clean pan and gently heat for 5-10 mins until it coats the back of a wooden spoon. Pour everything into a bowl or plastic container and leave to cool completely. 
  3. Pass the mix through a sieve into another container, then freeze for 5 hrs, stirring in the frozen edges with a fork every hour until you have a smooth, thick mix. 
  4. Crumble up the mince pies and add to the ice-cream, then freeze for at least 6 hrs before serving.
