Mince pie ice cream made for Christmas.
I've had a KitchenAid ice cream bowl for about 18 months. Started out following recipes from books (mainly hello my name is ice cream, and the gelupo book) but recently started experimenting with my own creations.
This is a standard custard base, but with the white sugar swapped for soft light brown sugar (for slight treacle notes) and the base infused with a mix of mixed spice, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla and orange zest. After churning I then mixed in my own short crust pastry (deliberately slightly over baked to prevent it going soft) and some store bought brandy infused mince meat.
Tastes great, although in hindsight, with the intensity of flavor from the mince meat the spice mix is perhaps a little too strong, but the pastry bits provide a nice plain contrast.
Happy holidays all!

Wow, you have inspired me!
Does the alcohol stop the mincemeat mix going icy?
