16 glacé cherries, finely chopped
2 Tbsp glacé ginger, finely chopped
4 Tbsp raisins
2 Tbsp candied pineapple, finely chopped
4 Tbsp brandy
12 meringues, crushed
1 L reduced-fat ice cream, softened

Place first five ingredients in a microwave-safe bowl, cover and heal on high for two
minutes, mix well and then stand for a further ten minutes for brandy to soak into fruit.

In large mixing bowl combine chestnuts and meringues, then ice cream. Finally add in
fruit mix.

Pack mixture into a six-cup pudding basin, cover with oven wrap and freeze until solid
– preferably overnight.

To un-mold, place pudding briefly into basin of hot water and up-end onto a serving
plate.

The fat content of this recipe will depend on the type of ice-cream you use.
