A former co-worker shared this recipe with me. It is rich and ohhhh so yummy. I only make this once a year, on Christmas Eve, and pop it into the oven Christmas morning as we open gifts. This is still a rather rich dish, although I have lightned it up from Tina's full fat original version. By all means, if you prefer full fat versions, please do so.
