Last week I was sent a really lovely delivery from Carte D’Or – everything I needed to create a Christmas Pudding Sundae! Now, I love a pudding. I also love Christmas. So the idea of this ice cream sundae was mind blowing to me and I couldn’t wait to give it a go. Christmas desserts are always out favourites.
When should you make a Christmas Pudding Sundae?
This quick Christmas Pudding Sundae is a great way of using up leftover Christmas pudding – and you could use Christmas pudding ice cream for an extra level of festive flavour if you wanted too. This is such a fantastic Christmas dessert with next to no prep time but it’s definitely not those who are healthy eating!
We followed the Carte D’Or Christmas Pudding Sundae Recipe and it couldn’t have been easier. If you’re looking for other ways of using up leftover Christmas pudding then you should try this Christmas pudding crumble too.
If you’d like to make a sundae that the whole family can enjoy, leave off the mulled wine and the children will love it! This recipe usually serves four but you can easily vary the quantities to serve more or less when recreating this at home. You could even switch the Christmas pudding to panetone or Christmas cake to use whatever you have available. I love versatile recipes like this!
The combination of the Christmas pudding, lovely warm sauce and creamy ice cream was wonderful and the perfect way to finish a festive meal. This will definitely be my new favourite way to eat Christmas Pudding and Carte D’Or will be my go to accompaniment to Christmas pudding from now on – even when eating it the traditional way.
