Christmas Roses


We are getting quite a collection now.

Something nice to eat. Warning - contains uncooked eggs.

Christmas Icecream

1 packet Annas Ginger Thins (Pepparkakor)
2 Eggs
6.5 oz low fat cream cheese
4.5 oz caster sugar
6.5 fluid oz whipping cream
zest of 1 lemon, finely grated
quarter teaspoon vanilla extract

Line a 2lb loaf tin with cling film
Crush the biscuits to fine crumbs and pat half of them into the bottom of the tin.
Separate the eggs. 
Whisk the yolks with the cheese, cream, sugar and flavours until thick and leaving a trail.
Beat the egg whites in a separate bowl until stiff and dry.
Stir a spoonful of the egg white into the yolk mix, and then gently fold the rest in, using a metal spoon. Pour the mixture into the tin and top it by sprinkling on the rest of the biscuit crumbs. Wrap and freeze overnight. To serve, turn it out and cut slices, and decorate with fresh (or thawed from frozen) berries.
