It's Christmas time which means that we get to do crazy things like get along with our families, buy heaps of presents and shop like everyone lives where we live because the shops are closed for one whole day!! The best part of Christmas in my opinion is getting to eat this Christmas Cake.... THE BEST CHRISTMAS CAKE ....EVER!!
20 or more years ago my Mum made this for Christmas lunch with Kahlua and dried fruit, sort of sounds okay now but to us at the time it was a huge waste of perfectly good icecream. The next year I took over the preparation and I have been doing it ever since with different combinations. It is my favorite thing to eat...ever and this year we are having 3 Christmas celebrations so I get to make it and eat it 3 times whoo hoo!!
Its so easy to make all you need is 2 litres of vanilla icecream, any combination of chocolate bars (my favorite this year is pepermint areo x 2, malteasers, turkish delight and cherry ripe).
Slightly melt the ice-cream and chop the chocolate and guard this with your life from little fingers wanting tastes, mix and put in a bowl lined with cling wrap freeze for about 24 hours then serve.
I serve this with berries or mango on top just to balance all the chocolate and because it looks deceptively healthy to anyone that doesn't know that they are about to eat a huge bowl of ice cream and chocolate.
I will guarantee if you make this there will be no leftovers, unless you sneak some away for yourself by cutting a huge slice for yourself and hiding half in the back of the freezer for later, not that I do that.... just saying!!
