Christmas Pudding is that classic dish which is a must have during the Christmas festival, a festival for which we wait for the whole year! Many different traditions & customs have come up with their own variations of the Christmas pudding. Some prepare it with 13 ingredients to represent Jesus and his twelve disciples while Oohers have the pudding steamed in a square of fabric or a bag. No matter what tradition you observe while eating this festive delight, we can all agree that there is no better way to bid the year goodbye than with this yummy indulgence. Until we start taking a guilt trip down weight gain lane, that is.
While we like to think calories don’t count on Christmas, with a smart sugar like I’m lite, truer words have not been spoken. Since it gives you 50% less calories, I’m lite is not only a healthy ingredient, but a ‘nice’ one that even Santa would approve for making all your festive treats.
