What is a suggested alternative to christmas pudding this year?

maybe go looking for something on this site:

It has some delightful ideas on dessert items to make.

After turkey and all the trappings there is in many circumstances little room left for pudding. a accepted Christmas pudding isn't the lightest newborn on the block so for people who want some thing a sprint lighter, that's a variety of selection Christmas pudding recipes. yet, be warned, some could be easy yet they are additionally deliciously wealthy and decadent making them appropriate for Christmas.

Well, the French have the Christmas log cake - the buche de Noel. It's a rich chocolate log cake made to look like a traditional Yule log. I think it's meant to be eaten as cake but you could use it as pudding with icecream, couldn't you? (It'd would be easy enough to find recipes on the 'Net - but it's pretty rich!) In other words, chocolate steamed pudding - one of my favourites! With bits and pieces of decoration that suggest christmas.

Think about it...plum pudding is just a steamed pudding made with fruit. Chocolate steamed pudding is the same thing - different flavour. What makes it christmassy is the decoration.

Try the original Figgy pudding less fruit than Christmas pud, Simon Rimmer did one this morning -
