Method

Whisk egg yolks with 60g caster sugar until thick and creamy.

Boil remaining caster sugar, milk, cream, and vanilla in a pan, then pour into yolks and stir.

Cook mixture over low heat, stirring constantly until thick enough to coat a spatula.

Cool custard, refrigerate for one hour, then strain and churn in an ice cream maker.

Stir in crumbled Christmas pudding when ice cream is soft, then freeze.

Cook sugar, star anise, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a frying pan until melted and golden-brown.

Whisk in butter and cream, simmer for 3-5 minutes, and strain through a fine sieve.

Sauté pineapple rounds in melted butter for two minutes on each side.

Serve pineapple with ice cream and a drizzle of caramel sauce.
