Thermomix Little Steamed Christmas Puds
Make on Fresco
No Christmas is complete without a little Christmas pudding showing up? Am I right? These mini puds are very simple to make and quite delish if you are into that sort of thing. I know lots of people consider fruit cake or pudding a version of punishment, so watch out who you serve these to! Personally, I can do one per festive season and that is pretty much it...I did manage to get chocolate into these though, you may have noticed. (There is no excuse not to add chocolate at Christmas time.)
You can make these months in advance of Christmas and then douse them in brandy once or twice a week. They will keep very well! (And you will love the taste at the end of all that soaking!)
We have absolutely loads of ideas for delicious Christmas eating on this site as well as multiple ebooks with a new Christmassy version coming out annually. They are all included with an Insider Club membership, which you really need to jump onto! Never be stuck for something fantastic and seasonal every again!
In the meantime, go and check out some of the recipes I have listed below...and make a list and check it twice!
