Ingredients

1 1/4 cup mixed glace fruit, roughly chopped (cherries, apricots, orange)

2 cup mixed dried fruit of choice (sultanas, raisins, craisins, fig)

1/4 cup grand marnier

2 litre vanilla ice-cream

100 gram bar, finely chopped toblerone

1/2 cup pistachios or toasted macadamias, chopped

1/2 cup thickened cream

Method

1.Reserve 1/4 cup glace fruit to serve. In a bowl, combine remaining glace fruit, dried fruit and grand marnier. Set aside, covered, overnight.

2.Place ice-cream in a large bowl and soften slightly. Then add soaked fruit mixture, toblerone, nuts and cream. Mix well.

3.Divide mixture evenly between 12 x 3/4-cup dariole moulds, smoothing tops. Cover with plastic wrap, arrange on a tray and freeze overnight until firm.

4.Remove puddings from freezer 5 minutes before serving. Invert onto serving plates and carefully remove moulds (if preferred, dip the moulds into hot water for a few seconds, invert and unmould). Serve topped with reserved glace fruit.

Use any flavourings or replace the grand marnier with brandy. Use chocolate ice-cream in place of vanilla.
