Hi Lindsey . I want to make the Melting Chocolate Puddings for Christmas but as my grandchildren and a teetotaller will be eating them , don't want to put the brandy in. Should I just leave this out and/or replace with other liquid to get the consistency right ? If so what liquid ? Also how do I cook them as I'll be freezing them ? Take them out the night before to defrost or cook straight from freezer - for how long etc ? Many thanks . Merry Christmas. Jenny
Hello Jenny,
You can just leave the brandy out.
Once the mixture has been divided into pudding basins, cover and freeze them.
Then cook the puddings from frozen as per the recipe, giving them 15 minutes’ extra cooking time to allow them to defrost.
Kind regards
Lindsey
