AN ENVIROMENTALLY FRIENDLY CHRISTMAS 'LOG'.. NO TREE WAS CUT DOWN..

                                              A CHRISTMAS LOG WITH HOLLY

Get ye to an icecream shop immediately, if not sooner, for no tree is killed for this recipe!

Ingredients:
1. 2 Pints of Rum & Raisin or Hazelnut Icecream.
2. 1 Pint of Chocolate Icecream.

Put both into the freezer when you get them home until you are ready to 'grow' your log.

You will need a palette knife and a bowl with hot water.
A large fork.
A serving board or plate that fits into your freezer.
Tin foil.

Method:
Let the Rum & Raisin / Hazelnut icecream soften a little bit and turn it into a oblong shaped tin, pressing it down with the palette knife so that it gets down into the corners of the tin.
Put the tin back into the freezer for several hours to harden up.
Take the Chocolate icecream out whilst the Rum & Raisin / Hazelnut Icecream is hardening up.
Allow the Chocolate icecream to soften enough so that you can spread it with a palette knife.
Take the Rum & Raisin icecream out of the freezer and turn it out onto a board / plate.
Take the palette knife and spread the Chocolate icecream onto and over the Rum & Raisin icecream.
Make the icecream roughly into the shape of a log, using the palette knife dipped into hot water to create the shape.
Taking the fork, make marks along the top and sides to look like rough tree bark and do a 'knot'' in the centre on the top.
Wrap the board / plate in tin foil and return it to your freezer.
Take it out of the freezer a short time before serving and decorate with a sprig of holly.

You know, Dear Readers, anyone would think we have a sweet tooth.. I wonder why?
