I read in one of the weekend papers that Christmas pudding is probably one of the worst possible choices of pudding to follow such a heavy meal and I couldn't agree more - far too heavy after all that roast meat and spuds etc..but then I never really liked Xmas pud much anyway. Something light would be my preference

We are having the chocolate fountain out again for our dessert after Xmas Dinner.Its so easy just melt the chocolate and some made up fruit kebabs that are preprepared and stored in the fridge.Much lighter and healthier than Xmas Pud.We will have that on Boxing Day after a much lighter meal

Another nice light grown ups desert is a ball of really good quality vanilla ice cream in an espresso cup of really good quality black coffee. Yummmm...

I make key lime pie which is a biscuit base, a lime flavoured custard made with condensed milk and fresh limes and topped with a soft meringue topping - really yummy! Will post the key lime pie recipe if you like

Please can you post key lime pie recipe, thanks

Christmas pudding comes after Christmas dinner, every time. I've never even considered anything else and am really surprised that so few people seem to have Christmas pud - I just assumed everyone did!!!

No wonder I have a few more than a couple of pounds I could do with losing!!

I'm with you oldMcDonald!! That's why it's called Christmas pudding, because it comes after Christmas dinner;) After all I'd look a right pig just having a bowlful of brandy butter, brandy cream and clotted cream. Got to have a bit of pudding in there too:rotfl:

Me too :j :T Christmas pudding with creme fraiche or brandy and caster sugar (DH's preference). Only problem is that I have to stay sober enough to light the pudding and not my hair :eek:

Anyone who doesn't like it is welcome to a satsuma!

I have our Christmas Pudding & cinnamon custard at night with our hot tea. For lunch we have cold meats & salads so out come the cheesecake, trifle & pavlova.

If you have a traditional Christmas pudding, try it with a sweet white wine, like Moscatel de Valencia. On its own, it is far too cloying for my palette but, when combined with the complicated and rich flavours of the Christmas pud', the result is pure nectar!
