Product Information

Hearst UK is the trading name of the National Magazine Company Ltd, 30 Panton Street, Leicester Square, London, SW1Y 4AJ. If you have yet to decide what Christmas pudding to serve at Christmas dinner then we recommend our most popular recipe, our easy Christmas pudding, which lets the microwave do the hard work. Add the brandy to your liking, from two teaspoonfuls to two tablespoonfuls (or more), but be careful not to add too much brandy or the sauce will become too runny. If you like it with a kick, add an extra splash of liqueur right before serving—only for the adults, though. Good Housekeeping participates in various affiliate marketing programs, which means we may get paid commissions on editorially chosen products purchased through our links to retailer sites.

This might include changes to allergy advice, ingredient lists, nutritional guides or dietary advice.For longer storage, the brandy sauce can be placed in an airtight container and frozen where it will last up to four months. Pour the brandy sauce into a serving jug to pour over the Christmas pudding before it’s cut into pieces, which makes for a beautiful presentation.

Whilst we make every effort to ensure that the product information on our site is accurate, this information will occasionally change. There are two main types of sweet brandy sauce: an egg based, custard-type sauce (which is the recipe I’ll be sharing with you), and a white sauce based sauce. The sauce is delicious served hot or cold, so don't worry if you don't have time to reheat it before drizzling over the pudding.

For a vanilla-brandy flavor, add 1 split and scraped vanilla bean to the sauce along with the sugar.This brandy sauce recipe is so easy to make; it can also be made a day or two in advance, refrigerated, and then simply reheated when the pudding is ready. Only six ingredients are needed to whip up this brandy sauce recipe, and your guests will thank you for adding a little extra kick to an equally boozy pud. To get the best marriage of flavors, always use the same liquor in the sauce that you have in your pudding.

Just be sure to stir it up well when you reheat it as the brandy will fall to the bottom of the jug when it’s refrigerated. There are various sauces that work well with the pudding, but the most traditional of all is a brandy sauce. It’s deeply rich, made with vanilla pods, caster sugar, cream, whole milk and (yes, you guessed it) a few tablespoons of brandy.Place a sheet of plastic wrap directly on the surface of the sauce to prevent it from forming a skin. You can also use this sauce for other desserts, such as bread and butter pudding, as a topping for ice cream, or cakes.
