almond meal + baking powder + eggs + butter + double cream + red currants + raspberries + blueberries + dark chocolate + unsweetened cocoa powder + walnuts + mixed spice + brandy + sugar of choice

A quick take on the traditional Christmas pudding without the carbs and with very little effort. Can be made as one whole pudding or we used 4 x 1 cup moulds. Can be made ahead and reheated. We have served this pudding with the microwave brandy custard (see index). This will add 3g of carbs per serve.
