Notes

I like to use a matured Christmas Pudding for this recipe but that's personal preference, un matured will work to.  
The brandy is optional, you can leave it out if you prefer.
If using the brandy do not add more than a couple of shots in total or the ice cream won't freeze properly.
Remember it will start to melt a soon as you take it out of the freezer so don't serve until the last minute and put into a pre-frozen plate.
