This is such a treat as it is so creamy but the flavours of the spices and fruit make it such a very yummy. It’s rather rich but that means a little scoop is just enough. I love the chunks of Christmas pudding throughout the ice cream. I can’t wait to whip up another batch in time for Christmas.

It’s made with double cream, icing sugar, condensed milk, a few Christmas spices and crumbled up Christmas pudding. For only 5 ingredients it is very impressive. I’ve even made some nice jars of it and given it as gifts. It has been very happily received and I’ve had more ordered by friends and family for their parties and events.

What do you do with leftover condensed milk?
Making no churn ice cream is a great way to use up leftover condensed milk. If it’s not Christmas then use the recipe below but leave out the Christmas pudding and spice. Then add your favourite chocolates or sweets. Crumbled up cake or brownie works really well too. There are so many options and you can be so creative with the flavours. White chocolate and mini marshmallow is one of my favourites.

Christmas pudding ice cream recipe
This little bowl of ice cream was full of Christmas tastes and was instantly a hit in my house. If you’re anything like my family there is always too much Christmas pudding as everyone buys an extra one just in case. I hope that is repeated this year so I can whip up another batch with the left overs. Well it would be a waste and a sadness to not use it all up. Enjoy a scoop or two.

Christmas ice cream made with condensed milk
Condensed milk is one of the three great ingredients needed to make no churn ice cream at home. All you need for condensed milk ice cream is condensed milk, double cream and icing sugar. For the Christmas ice cream made with condensed milk you also need some extra Christmas spice – I used mixed spice. It has a rich winter flavour which works so well. If you have other spices you prefer you can add them separately. For example ground cinnamon, ground cloves, ground ginger and ground nutmeg. Plus of course you need Christmas pudding.
Christmas ice cream flavour ideas
From this basic recipe for Christmas ice cream you can change the flavours to be even more Christmassy or to your own Christmas flavour favourites. Here is my list of my favourites to try if Christmas pudding isn’t your favourite.
- glacé cherries and chocolate for a black forest flavour ice cream
- white chocolate and marshmallow ice cream
- cranberry and dark chocolate ice cream
- ground ginger with crumbled up gingerbread pieces ice cream
- ground cinnamon and shortbread ice cream

Can I use homemade Christmas pudding in my ice cream?
The Christmas pudding you use can be homemade or store bought. As the Christmas puddings are steamed, you can use them when they are ready to be cooked on Christmas day. Or you can use the leftovers which got cooked on Christmas day which have cooled. It’s one of the reasons I love this recipe is that it helps with food waste. Plus as it’s being put in the freezer it lasts even longer.
What can I serve with the no churn ice cream?
The best things I recommend serving with this delicious no church ice cream include;
- ginger bread biscuits – crumbled up and sprinkled over the top
- ginger bread biscuits – to dip in.
- more Christmas pudding, maybe hot this time – because why not.
- chocolate brownies.
- pour over a hot cup of coffee and make it a Christmas affogato.
- serve it along side a hot mince pie.
- serve it with stollen.
- Christmas sprinkles. I am a big fan of extra sprinkles to serve ice cream with.
