Christmas ice cream from around the world

Christmas flavors make some of the best tubspints of the year. Eggnog is a rich nutmeg custard, Peppermint Bark is cool white peppermint with crushed candy cane and white chocolate, and Gingerbread has gingersnap pieces folded through. For a Scandinavian Christmas, try Risalamande, the rice pudding dessert, or Cloudberry Cream, Norway's multekrem as ice cream.

Italy brings Honey Nougat (Torrone) Gelato and Amarena Cherry Gelato, and Gløgg Sorbet tastes like a Christmas market, without the alcohol. Between rich courses, Cranberry Orange Sorbet is a clean, tart palate cleanser.

Good to know

  • Freeze the tubspints a week or so before Christmas. Frozen bases are best within 2 weeks, so the freezer does the work while you shop.
  • Candy canes and gingersnaps go in last with Mix-in, in pea-sized pieces, so they stay crunchy.
  • Cooked custards like Eggnog must cool completely before freezing. An hour in the fridge helps.
  • Serving a crowd? A 473 ml16 oz tubpint serves four and a 709 ml24 oz Deluxe tubpint serves six.

Questions people ask

How early can I make Christmas ice cream?

Freeze the bases up to 2 weeks ahead and spin them on the day. With the lid on they keep for up to 4 weeks, but they taste best within 2.

Which Christmas recipes are alcohol-free?

Most of them. Gløgg Sorbet is made without alcohol, and so is Eggnog. Drinks and gelato with alcohol are labeled Contains alcohol.

Do you have Norwegian Christmas recipes?

Yes: Cloudberry Cream is multekrem as ice cream, Risalamande is the Christmas rice pudding, and Gløgg Sorbet tastes of mulled grape juice and spice.
