    This year will be our first Christmas at home as a family of four. Β In almost eleven years we have lived in Brisbane, this will be just the third time we haven’t made the big trip south to spend the festive season with our family. Β While we will certainly miss seeing everyone, I’m also secretly looking forward to spending time together, making memories and starting our own Christmas traditions.

    One of the Christmas Day traditions I plan to continue with my boys, is making my Great Nan’s Chocolate SteamedΒ Pudding for our Christmas Lunch dessert. Β As a kid I can remember watching my Nan make this pudding from scratch every Christmas morning, using just her hands to cream the butter and sugar together. Β I can then remember my sister and I wolfing down our lunch just so we could enjoy a piece of her pudding, always served with hot with homemade custard, and then arguing over who had the bigger piece. Β While it’s now been just over 7 years since Nan passed away, Mum has continued to make her pudding every year and I’m embarrassed to admit my sister and I have continued to argue over who has the bigger serve and I ‘may’ have hidden the leftovers last year so I didn’t have to share them with her.

    Chocolate Steamed Pudding Recipe

    Like many of Nan’s recipes, both the ingredients and method are very simple – but sometimes it is the simple things which really taste the best.

      Yum. Chocolate pudding sounds delicious and more my taste than plum or fruit based puddings. Jacob and I had Belgian chocolate pudding a few weeks ago and it was so decadent and rich. I love it with ice cream! πŸ™‚

        I’m not a huge fan of plum or fruit based puddings either – give me chocolate pudding any day! I can just imagine how delicious your belgium pudding would have been. Yum!

      Oh I love this so much!
      I love that it’s a chocolate pudding… What’s not to love. I love the simpleness of old school dishes, but the simple ingredients & methods also leave you nowhere to hide.
      The best cooks our Nan’s, miss & love them always. x
