A bowl of this boozy cream served alongside Christmas pudding gives the classic dessert an added sparkle. It also goes well with mince pies or yule log too.
Ingredients
- 300ml/10fl oz pouring double cream
- 25g/1oz icing sugar
- 1 orange, finely grated rind only
- 1–3 tbsp rum, brandy or orange liqueur
Method
Place the cream and sugar in a bowl and whip to form soft peaks. Fold in the orange rind. Add the booze to taste – 1 tablespoon tastes good, 2 tablespoons are even better and 3 tablespoons are just wow!
Serve with Christmas pudding, mince pies or a chocolate log.
