Christmas Pudding
This is by a long way the best Christmas pudding I've ever eaten, it's so light and fruity, with juicy bites of raisins, cranberries, sultanas, apricots and dates, which are complimented by the flavours of the apple and orange. The mix of spices also really brings it to life, with the mix of ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg and vanilla, which all make it taste just like Christmas!

📝 Preparation Steps
1
Start by soaking the cashews in a bowl of water for ⏱️ 2-3 hours making sure they’re completely covered.
2
In a separate bowl, soak the flaxseed with the water for about ⏱️ 10 minutes so it starts to thicken.
3
Then make the pudding by mixing all of the ingredients together in a large mixing bowl.
4
Then line a 2 litre glass pudding bowl with baking paper.
5
Spoon in the mixture into the lined bowl, place baking paper over the top and then tie a piece of string around it so the paper stays on top of the bowl like a hat.
6
Put the bowl inside a wide pan and fill the pan with boiling water half way up the bowl.
7
Cover with a lid, bring to a medium heat and simmer the pudding for ⏱️ 2 hours.
8
Make sure that the water doesn’t evaporate as it might burn the pudding and crack your bowl so check on it every half hour.
9
Whilst the pudding is cooking, make the vanilla cashew custard: blend the cashews in a blender with the vanilla, maple syrup and half of the water.

10
Add the rest of the water gradually to get desired thickness and taste.
11
Blend for around ⏱️ 5 minutes or until completely smooth!
12
Then pour the custard into a pan and gently heat until warmed and thickened to a nice creamy consistency.
13
Once the pudding has finished cooking, place an upside down serving plate on top of the bowl and flip to remove the pudding.
14
Leave it to stand for about ⏱️ 10 minutes before drizzling on the delicious vanilla cashew custard!
