A bold claim, but it more than lives up to the hype after a look at pictures of the pud.

We wanted to ensure that fans don’t have to go without on Christmas Day by launching a luxurious pudding that has even won taste-approval from the GHI before it’s hit the shelves.

It features a rich Belgian chocolate and orange sponge and a shimmery orange sauce melting centre.

It’s topped with chocolate golden biscuit balls and dusted with gold sparkle and looks so festive.

For Christmas pudding dodgers, the decadent dessert has been crowned the top “hassle-free finale” by the Good Housekeeping Institute, scoring nearly top marks in a recent taste test.
