Peppermint pudding ice cream sandwiches

One of the biggest food trends globally this year has to be newstalgia. Taking nostalgic dishes especially from the 80s and 90s and jazzing them up a little (I hear Jazz on the upswing too)

These little frozen morsels are summer/ Christmas holidays personified in my humble opinion. The classic peppermint crisp pudding that we all love and grew up with gets a reincarnation in ice cream sandwich form. Children and adults alike will inhale these nostalgic desserts with equal amounts of joyous gluttony.

Peppermint pudding ice cream

1 360g tin of caramel treat

360 ml whipping cream

Ice cream

Puff pastry

• Preheat your oven to 200 degrees Celsius

• Place the pastry between two baking trays using baking paper on the top and bottom of the pastry. You basically want to ensure the puff pastry doesn’t puff up too much as you want thin pastry to sandwich the ice cream
