I'm type 1 and I did like the odd mince or a small piece of christmas pudding ( yummy) but now I have Coeliac Disease as well, I feel as though christmas may be giving me a wide berth this year RRB

I made a Christmas pudding with slightly reduced carbs. I substituted some Gram flour for the crumbs I have in my recipe, omitted sugar and put in a little Stevia and substituted some ofthe dried grapes type fruit with apricots and cranberries. I added an extra egg to support the structure. I shall have a SMALL portion with cream.

Nope don't like either and find them both too sweet.

But... I'll have some ice cream and trifle as a substitute :lol:

Yes, I've made my own. Microwaves work really well for Christmas Pudding, saves hours of steaming. I'll check my blood sugar as usual during the day and have an extra couple of units if I overindulge.
