Three Ingredient Christmas Pudding
Twas the season of joy, and the Thermo's were humming,
Three ingredients mixed, a sweet treat was forthcoming.
No eggs, no fuss, just simplicity's art,
A pudding so rich, it could warm every heart.
With fruit soaked in booze, and flour to bind,
A recipe so easy, it’ll blow your mind.
No whisking, no kneading, no skills to display,
Just mix it, then steam it, the simplest ballet.
Young hands and old, all can join in the cheer,
A pudding perfection for all to revere.
So gather around, let the magic unfold,
Three ingredients only, and joy to behold!
Couldn't help myself, but really! How amazing. You are going to LOVE this one. As I write this I just had some warmed up with Brandy Cream Sauce for breakfast! The things I do for you, I mean!
I ended up making both mini Christmas cakes and the pudding from this mixture and the pudding was outstanding. The cakes were OK, I have better Christmas cake recipes, but seriously, you must try the pudding. It is so good and SO easy. I simply cannot get over it. The taste is completely different when steamed, which I cannot quiet figure out, but anyway, trust me and go with the pudding version.

Scrape it into the Thermomix bowl and add 1/2 the flour and blend 10 sec/speed 4. Add remaining flour and blend again 10 sec/speed 6 with the aid of the Thermomix spatula. (If you are using the other ingredients, add them now.)

You may have to finish combining with the spatula by hand. It gets very sticky around the blade.

Steam 90 min/Varoma/speed 4. You don't need to check the water level, but if you get anxious about this, by all means, do so.

If you are baking cakes, and have a steam function on your oven, preheat to 160°C and use steam level 3. Spread mix into prepared cake tin(s) and bake 30 minutes for small ones, 45 minutes for a single cake.

Serve pudding warm with lashings of the Brandy Cream Sauce, which is also next level amazing.

If you are storing the cakes for any length of time in the lead up to Christmas, make sure you brush them with either a brandy or Cointreau every couple of days.
