This non-traditional Christmas Day dessert is a surefire winner if dried fruit-based puddings aren’t your thing
W
hile our Christmas Day dinner doesn’t deviate too much from tradition, I do experiment with the dessert. My family, bar one sweet-toothed aunt, avoids dried fruit-based offerings, so classic Christmas cakes and puddings are a hard no. Over the years, I have tried variations on yule logs, pavlovas and sherry trifles, but the biggest crowdpleaser is easily sticky toffee pudding (or something along those lines). This year, I’m making this warming, simple but decadent pear, sticky ginger and pecan pudding, which feels festive and fancy, and can happily make an appearance whenever.
This can be made the day before and reheated before serving. Feel free to serve it with your favourite brandy butter or cream for maximum festiveness.
