what type of fruit cake?

[wolfdancer.livejournal.com]

the kind that is mosty fruit and cherrys and nuts or the kind that is most cake?
A good one with lots of rum could be intresting.

I'd try it!

cake flavor might get lost? what about adulterating the vanilla ice cream with additional fruitcake flavors: rum, spices, more fruit & nuts?

I was thinking of this idea too, because I'm not sure the cake will retain its integrity in the face of stirring? Also, I think the goodness of the idea directly correlates to the goodness of the fruitcake.

Hrmmm, if you wanted to do that I've got the perfect thing to use! We've got a batch of fruitcake fruit that's been sitting in rum for at least 2 years. I can siphon off the liquid and you could boil it to add to the ice cream base...

I think that would make too much liquid. There's not alot of cake in my fruitcake so I figure it will crumble down and mix in pretty well

Ah, so it sounds like you are thinking of something with the flavor of fruitcake but not necessarily containing chunks like a cookie dough ice cream does.

I've tasted your fruitcake. I think it would make a wonderful ice cream though I suspect you might find that adding some chopped up fruit pieces to give texture as a compliment to the flavor would be good.

Chopped cherries that have soaked in rum?

Yummy but I'm with wolfdancer: depends on how good the fruitcake was to start with and what kind it was!
