▢
100 g / 1 cup almond flour

1 egg
▢
100 g / 1/2 cup shredded carrot

50 g / 1/4 cup blueberries, frozen
▢
50 g / 1/4 cup cherries frozen
▢
10 g small handful crushed walnuts
▢
2 tbsp butter melted
▢
1 tbsp double heavy cream
▢
1 tsp baking powder
▢
1 tsp cacao powder unsweetened
▢
2 tbsp powdered sweetener (So Nourished) or more to taste
▢
2 tsp mixed spice pumpkin spice
▢
2 tsp cinnamon
▢
orange zest from 1/2 orange

INSTRUCTIONS

Mix the dry ingredients in a bowl.
Melt the butter.
Add the melted butter and all remaining ingredients to the bowl and stir until combined. If you wish, add a glug of Brandy. Adjust sweetener if needed.
Grease a pyrex glass bowl with butter and fill in the Christmas pudding batter. Microwave at 700W for 6 minutes.
Turn out upside down onto a plate and serve with thick cream.
I have tried to keep this pudding as low carb as possible and avoided dried fruit, which arguably are the essence of a Christmas pudding. If you do wish to add dried fruit because it’s Christmas and all that, I’d recommend prunes over sultanas – they are much lower in carbs.
