This recipe was meant to be published in the winter 2015 issue of Taste & Flavors, along with three other recipes however due to space limitation, they pushed it out randomly – which is perfect because I couldn’t wait to share this specific recipe with you for so many reasons. It requires few ingredients, it is easy to make and will leave you screaming for more. Don’t be discouraged by the freezing time, just make it one day before serving. I call this an ice cream pudding because it doesn’t freeze like the ice cream we are normally used to, it retains a rather thick custardy consistency. Enjoy it!
