About

I love this chilled pudding because its easy to make, looks like a snow-white Christmas pudding and tastes very good indeed. You could have it, decorated with holly, as an alternative to Christmas pudding or as a dessert at another meal. Unlike Christmas pudding, there’s no question that the children might not like it - I find it universally popular.
