To be honest, I never liked puddings all that much..so I never got around to making one. The only pudding I have ever enjoyed is my mum's 'Jagery Pudding' (I will upload this recipe later). I must say, my mum's an expert when it comes to puddings! After the multitude of dinner parties at my house, she has ravished her guests with quite a varity of puddings.
Its very rare we even think of cooking dessert for ourselves. I guess its the hassel of making sure you have all the rich ingredients or the long tedious process of making one.
Wouldn't it be just lovely if you had a simple dessert recipe which is easy peasy and you could turn into a dinner party treat?!
I have made this pudding twice now. It looks exquisite and tastes heavenly!
