Traditional British Christmas Pudding is a make-ahead, steamed, fruit-filled dessert that is set alight when served. It is a beautiful culmination of many British Christmas dinners.

Christmas Pudding, as Americans know it, is a soft, dairy-type dessert, like custard, but to Brits, it simply means, “dessert”. Christmas Pudding, therefore, is translated to “Christmas Dessert”. You’ve probably also heard it called plum pudding as in Charles Dicken’s classic, A Christmas Carol.
