Any recipes to use up left-over Christmas pudding?

[Caro]

I was in a saintly (hint hint ) store the other day and they were selling off their Christmas puddings at 50p. I couldn't resist.

But rather than just eat it, I'd like to bake or do something else with it. Can anyone help with suggestions and recipes?

Thanks

Rachel Allen's muffin recipe

SERVES 6

INGREDIENTS
FOR THE MUFFINS

1 egg

75ml milk

30g salted butter

2 tbsp sherry, whisky or brandy

125g leftover Christmas pudding

125g plain flour

1 tbsp baking powder
1/2 tsp mixed spice

75g caster sugar

FOR THE SHERRY BUTTER ICING

125g sifted icing sugar

50g salted butter, softened

1-2 tbsp sweet sherry, whisky or brandy

METHOD
Preheat the oven to 350F or gas mark 4. Line the muffin tins with paper cases.

Whisk the egg in a bowl. Add the milk, melted butter, sherry and the Christmas pudding.

Sift the flour, baking powder and mixed spice into another bowl. Add the caster sugar and mix well. Make a well in the centre.

Add the wet ingredients and mix together until a soft batter forms. Spoon the mixture into the paper cases and bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes. Allow to cool on a wire rack.

While they are cooking, make the sherry butter icing.

Mix together the icing sugar and the butter. Add enough sherry, about 1 tbsp, to just soften the mixture and make it spreadable.

Once the muffins are cool, spread the icing over the top and serve.


Or Nigel Slaters' Sundae
[B]Christmas pudding sundae
Mop up leftover Christmas pud with a dash of booze and some ice cream - Nigel Slater's dish is made in two minutes flat.

Ingredients
a little butter (or leftover brandy butter)

leftover cooked Christmas pudding

dash of brandy

vanilla ice cream, to serve

Preparation method
Melt a little butter in a frying pan (I use brandy butter if there’s any still knocking around). Crumble in the leftover Christmas pudding. Pour in a glug of brandy just to keep it moist. When the mixture is piping hot, spoon it over ice cream (or layer it in sundae glasses with the ice cream).

I always make 3 spare Christmas puds and we eat them as Christmas pud later in the year. I've never used it as an ingredient - I just LERVE Christmas pudding!

T8ter, that first recipe sounds gorgeous, thank you. Think I'll try to make them for a family dinner on Wed.

Thanks to everyone else too
