Frozen Puddings

There is something about freezing puddings which makes them seem even more impressive, almost like something out of a fairy story. In fact, many chilled puddings can taste even better when frozen, and are particularly useful because, unlike sorbets and some ice cream recipes, they do not need beating halfway through the freezing and can usually be served straight from the freezer. All kinds of mousses and chilled Soufflés fall into this category, as well as cakes layered with ice cream, meringue cakes and charlottes edged with sponge fingers.
