    No holiday dessert table is complete without this no-churn gingerbread ice-cream. It's a super easy recipe and is the perfect Christmas dessert!

    No-churn gingerbread ice-cream - it's the perfect Christmassy dessert!

    We accidentally cut down 2 Christmas trees! Well, not really. Let me explain.

    Every year Josh spends the few months leading up to Christmas scoping out the side of the roads he drives down to find our Christmas tree and yesterday was Christmas tree day! Only we got there, found the one that Josh had picked out and he cut it down but there were 2 growing right next to each other! So of course, we couldn't leave one by itself! We now have one beautiful, tall, perfectly shaped, scraping the ceiling tree in the lounge...and the second tree has found its home in the bathroom! It is equally as beautiful, but luckily much smaller. We are officially those people they were talking about on the radio the other day that go totally overboard at Christmas.

    No-churn gingerbread ice-cream - it's the perfect Christmassy dessert!

    Speaking of going overboard at Christmas, for some reason this year, I have felt the need to make every food we would normally eat Christmas flavoured. Today, my favourite 4 ingredient, no churn vanilla ice-cream has got into the holiday spirit and become gingerbread ice-cream!

    The cream is whipped, spices and golden syrup added to the condensed milk and it's mixed together and into the freezer. Optional, but highly recommended is frozen chunks of gingerbread cookie dough. I made a batch of these cookies, kept some of the dough out, broke it into small pieces and froze them slightly, before mixing into the ice-cream. They made the ice-cream seriously great!

    Even though it's cold in half of the world for Christmas I still think this would be the perfect accompaniment to any hot Christmas dessert. And for us summer Christmas kids - it's just plain perfect!

      This looks delicious! I'm a massive fan of ginger and ice-cream so it's a match made in heaven for me. Also, I'd love to give this a go because I've never made ice cream at home, not realising you could do it without a churner or ice cream maker. Your trees look spectacular - that tall one is a beauty!

        Yay thanks Robyn! You need to try the no-churn vanilla ice-cream recipe I use...it's so great and you can add anything to it...I have an ice-cream maker but use this recipe majority of the time! How big is my tree right?? I was so excited that I had to cut the top off for it to fit in my lounge!
