Christmas pudding is a traditional British and Irish steamed dessert, that is a staple of the Christmas meal, known for its dense, moist texture, and rich, spiced, and boozy flavour profile. It is typically made weeks or months in advance to allow the flavours to mature, a process often associated with the tradition of “Stir Up Sunday”

Christmas pudding is typically served warm with accompaniments such as brandy butter, custard, or clotted cream. Leftovers can be stored for a long time due to their high alcohol and sugar content, often lasting for up to a year if wrapped tightly and stored in a cool, dry place
