Making the Pudding
Ingredients
Gluten-free flour, almond flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground cloves, ground ginger, raisins, currants, sultanas, dried cranberries, apricots, dates, cherries, mixed peel, brandy, eggs, honey, coconut oil, and almond milk. These are all the ingredients you'll need to make our gluten and dairy-free Christmas pudding. Don't worry, they are all easily available at your local grocery store. The combination of these ingredients will create a rich and flavorful pudding that will be the star of your holiday dessert table.
Instructions
To start, combine the gluten-free flour, almond flour, baking powder, and spices in a bowl. In a separate bowl, mix together the dried fruits and brandy, then add it to the flour mixture. In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, honey, melted coconut oil, and almond milk. Slowly pour this mixture into the flour and fruit mixture, stirring until well combined. The batter should be thick and sticky.
Next, grease a pudding basin with coconut oil and pour the batter into it. Cover the basin with a parchment paper and then seal it with foil, making sure it's tightly sealed. Place the basin in a large pot and fill it with water, making sure the water reaches halfway up the basin. Bring the water to a boil and then reduce the heat to a simmer. Let the pudding steam for 4-5 hours, checking the water level occasionally and adding more if needed.
Once the pudding is done, remove it from the pot and let it cool. Once cooled, store it in the fridge until ready to serve. On the day of serving, steam the pudding for an additional 2-3 hours before turning it out onto a plate. Serve with your favorite dairy-free custard or ice cream.
