Christmas Carrot Pudding image

This is a traditional English steamed pudding, which I serve with Egg Nog Sauce. DH could care less about Christmas anything, except this. If I don't make this, I may as well pack my bags ... :) This is his dear Mom's recipe, just as she wrote it, I don't dare change it!

I love that this pudding is made with whole wheat flour. It makes it a little healthier than other carrot puddings.

This pudding is a great make-ahead dessert. I made it a few days ahead of time and it was still just as delicious when we served it on Christmas Day.
