Matthew Walkers Christmas Pudding
The kind people at Matthew Walker's sent me some of their puddings with a challenge to create a great recipe. Well after much deliberation, I thought maybe a fantastic baked Alaska using the pudding! It was great fun to make and looked brilliant on the dining table. The family scoffed it in seconds and I am now going to make it for Christmas day. I hope you like my recipe, which has a slight twist.
Baking Xmas Pudding Alaska,
Recipe:
1 100g Matthew Walker Christmas Pudding or simply use a 100grams from their larger 454g pudding.
1 good scoop of some vanilla ice cream
1 teaspoon of Baileys
Orange zest for half an orange
3 egg whites
1 teaspoon of Lemon juice
9Oz's of caster sugar
First, place the orange zest and baileys in a bowl with the scoop of ice cream and mix well. Now return this to the freezer for 15 Min's. Whisk the egg whites in a bowl until stiff. Now add the sugar in 3 to 4 stages, again whisking as you go. Finally fold in the lemon juice.
Place your Christmas pudding on a baking tray. Take the ice cream and spoon on top. Now using a piping bag, pipe the egg whites around the pudding and ice cream to completely encase it. Put in a oven at 180c for around 4-5 Min's until it has just started to brown.
Remove from oven and serve immediately. You can pour a small amount of brandy over it and set it alight for that extra touch.
