This is a really easy ice cream to whip up and one that I make every Christmas to go with the Christmas pudding and with my annual Rumtopf or Brandied Cherries and Apricots. You can make it in an ice cream maker if you have one, but as it is a non-custard base ice cream, it works just as well without an ice cream maker. It lasts for one month in the freezer and is a great addition to the summer dining table too!
I don’t make this often, but my great grandmother brought this to the United States when she emigrated from Belgium in the 1910’s. I thought I should write it down somewhere I couldn’t lose it. She made these like icebox cookies, but she said that in Belgium the bakers would have cookie molds of pretty shapes carved into wooden slabs. They would press the dough over the slabs, then turn the slabs upside down over a cookie sheet, give it a sharp tap and the cookies would fall onto the sheet ready for baking. (Note: I’m not at all sure how many this makes, my estimate was a total guess)

Kriek is a special Belgian beer which some say is reserved for consumption by the fair sex! For this recipe the Kriek made by Lindemans is recommended. This recipe is taken from De Vlaamsche Pot by Marie Cattoor.
This is a recipe for the Thermomix machine. Another rich and delicious teacake! The first 4 ingredients are for the base. The second 4 are for the filling.
