Christmas Pudding

This will be my first Christmas as T2 on low carb. What are your favourites for Christmas pudding - I'm thinking whole yoghurt with nuts , berries and Christmassy spices.

There is a recipe for a low carb Xmas pudding on the website sugarfreelondoner.

Thanks I will check it out

If you want a Christmas pud then make one using ground almonds and consider fresh fruit instead of dried fruit. Alot less on the carb front and not so heavy on the tummy.

Great idea - thank you!

I enjoy cheese for dessert, especially Christmas dinner.

 

[JanetT]

Just a Christmas pudding, with custard.

I used to make an ice-cream one, it wasn't a budget recipe whatever as I soaked the dried fruit in brandy - for 24 hours plus and it was exceedingly alcoholic and carborific (if that's a word) - 8 of us used to have dinner and stay overnight at one of the gang's homes cos they owned an old farmhouse with loads of bedrooms and space generally for lots of people - and anyway it really was so rich, nobody at all could eat very much of it but always said they enjoyed every mouthful. You either like the taste of nutmeg, cinnamon, dried fruit, candied peel, brandy etc - or you don't!

Er - it was never intended to be low carbohydrate mate - merely you couldn't eat very much of it at a time really, even if you have indiscriminate dietary requirements and actually love Xmas Pud, was all !!!

Just have a smaller portion of Christmas pudding and enjoy the festivities. You could cut out the other snacking like crisps and chocolate to allow for the carbs of the pudding. You only eat Christmas pudding once a year so enjoy..

Don't mind small bit of Christmas pudding, usually just have it with some clotted cream ice cream with double cream over top.
