Gingerbread Pudding

December 11, 2021 by themacphersondiaries

This Gingerbread Pudding is moist, moreish and delectable. It has the spices of gingerbread but make it pudding!

Jump to Recipe

There is something comforting about my Gingerbread Pudding. A lovely combination of ginger, nutmeg, cinnamon, mixed spice and golden syrup all snuggled into a lovely batter with a delicious sauce keeping everything moist. You can serve it with ice cream, whipped cream or custard. I love it served warm, and it reheats well in the microwave.  

Ingredients in Gingerbread Pudding:

  • White flour
  • Baking powder
  • Brown sugar and white sugar
  • Ginger
  • Cinnamon
  • Nutmeg
  • All spice
  • Butter
  • Golden syrup
  • Milk
  • Boiling water
  • Icing sugar to dust
  • Ice cream to serve

How to make Gingerbread Pudding:

First you need to preheat oven to 180 degrees fan bake and grease your Biroix dish (or an ovenproof dish, something with high sides) with butter. For the pudding batter, take a large bowl and add all the dry ingredients. Mix well. I like to use a wooden spoon for this.

Melt the butter and golden syrup together and add to the dry mix, with the milk, and mix well. Transfer to your Biroix dish.

For the sauce place all ingredients in a bowl (you can use the same bowl you used for the batter) and add the boiling water, stir, and once mostly dissolved, pour over the batter mixture. Do not mix it. It will look like a hot mess but trust the process.

Place in the oven and cook for 45 minutes. Serve with cream, custard, or ice cream and dust with icing sugar.

Common questions about Gingerbread Pudding:

Can I reheat leftovers? Absolutely, in either the oven or microwave.
