3. Gently stir through the brandied fruit to spread evenly throughout the ice cream.
4. Line a pudding dish or large bowl with cling wrap, enough to have overhang. Tip the ice cream into the dish, cover and freeze overnight.
5. In a saucepan make a smooth paste with the cornflour, cocoa and cold water.
