Notes
8g net carbs per serving. Makes 4 servings.
***You can make your own pumpkin spice mix - 1 teaspoon cinnamon, ½ teaspoon ginger, ¼ teaspoon nutmeg and ⅛ teaspoon each allspice and cloves.
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, I recommend prunes over sultanas - they are lower in carbs.
Let the pudding cool before turning out onto a plate. You can then slice it and warm the individual slices for 10 seconds each just before serving.
