Additional Tips:

If you don't have individual pudding molds, you can use small mason jars or even muffin tins to create individual servings. Just be sure to adjust the baking time accordingly.

You can also add in other dried fruits such as apricots, dates, or figs to make the pudding more unique. Just make sure to keep the overall ratio of dry ingredients the same.

For a non-alcoholic version, you can substitute the brandy or rum with apple juice or orange juice.
