Peach and raspberry ripple ice cream

Having treated myself to a kitchenaid ice cream maker and a ‘I ❤️ my ice cream maker’ book recently I’ve set straight to work and here we have my first new ice cream recipe (I made dime bar ice cream last week but have done that before).  Unfortunately I had issues with the bowl being too frozen which messed up the churning and which ultimately meant that the raspberry in this is not a ripple but an infusion! I know I’ll get to grips with it eventually.  Anyway, the flavour is lovely and fruity so overall a summery success.

Spotted Dick

A special request this from my boyf who has been asking for it for a while.  Flushed with success from the previous 2 steam puddings I gave it a go.  I’ve never eaten a spotted dick before and so had no idea what a good one would look like even so I went to The Guardian and their ‘how to make the perfect ...’ series.  It was a success with the company it was served to but not to my taste I’m afraid, so I won’t be making this again.
