I decided to make no chocolate dessert for once and tried something very unusual for me: a pavlova, self made meringue with cream and passion fruit. It might look a bit funny but the taste is fantastic. The sweet and crunchy meringue, the soft cream and the sour and slimy passion fruit...thank you nigel slater.
For dessert we had the christmas pudding from Uwe. We never had this before so we were quite nervous when we took it out of the "bain marie" after two hours of cooking.
After you put it over to add the brandy and flambé it. This is quite tricky because it should "burn" for more than some seconds and the flame should be on top of the cake.
As you can see we nearly managed. You serve it with brandy butter and it is absolutely delicious!
This is the one we got: Coles English Privilege Christmas Pudding - A luxury pudding with a distinct flavour. Made by stirring the liquid ingredients of ‘Old Growler’ (the award winning Suffolk ale), pure orange juice and fresh lemon juice into a blend of succulent vine fruits, ground almonds, brown sugar and fresh breadcrumbs.
The most exquisite of puddings designed to give pleasure by combining whisky, Madeira, sherry and strong English ale with a balance of fruits, nuts and select ingredients.
