3.) Turn out the pudding onto a plate and pour the sauce over the top.

4.) Serve with ice cream or crème fraiche.

Top Tips:

The Christmas pudding mix can be made as early as three months in advance, so there’s plenty of time for preparation during the hectic Christmas period.

Any dry fruits of your preference can be used in this recipe. These should be gently steamed.

Don’t worry if you can’t get your hands on a Bundt mould; any baking tray is suitable and should be lined with greaseproof paper.

    This looks utterly divine. I loved it even before I read that it had Cointreau in it but that sealed it for me!
