Philly Christmas Pudding

Here is a pudding for those of you who do not like traditional pudding (I really don't understand you but there you go!) I of course have to make one of these each year as well since I have some non pudding eaters in my family

Ingredients

500gm cream cheese
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 tsp mixed spice
1 cup cream
1 cup sultanas
1/2 cup glace pineapple
1 cup dried apricots, chopped
1/2 cup glace cherries, chopped
2 tbsp brandy
4 eggs separated

Method

• Mix cream cheese and brown sugar until smooth
• Add spice, cream, dried fruits, brandy and egg yolks mix together
• Beat egg whites to stiff peaks and then fold through the fruit mixture
• Pour into a greased and lined pudding tin
• Freeze overnight
