Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon smooth apricot jam
  • 1 tablespoon vinegar
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 tablespoon melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 2 cups vanilla ice cream

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a square baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, mix together the flour and baking soda.
  3. In another bowl, beat the sugar and egg until light and fluffy.
  4. Add the apricot jam, vinegar, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract to the sugar and egg mixture. Mix well.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until smooth.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and bake for 30 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. While the malva pudding is baking, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Fold in the milk and vanilla ice cream to make the ice cream filling.
  8. Once the malva pudding has cooled, cut it into squares and slice each square in half horizontally to create the top and bottom of the ice cream sandwiches.
  9. Place a scoop of the ice cream filling onto the bottom half of each malva pudding square and top with the remaining malva pudding squares.
  10. Wrap the ice cream sandwiches in plastic wrap and freeze for at least 2 hours before serving.
