About

Some puddings make people groan with pleasure: this is one of them. It’s a luxurious ice cream, intensely chocolaty, within a case of sponge fingers soaked in a fresh orange and brandy syrup. Definitely and extravagant treat and perfect for the Christmas festivities. You can make it days ahead and it is enough for a large number of people.
