Parents have to make the decision with older children, but it’s easy to keep some aside with less brandy because of the way I’ve adapted this recipe. This brandy sauce recipe is so easy to make; it can also be made a day or two in advance, refrigerated, and then simply reheated when the pudding is ready.

Only six ingredients are needed to whip up this brandy sauce recipe, and your guests will thank you for adding a little extra kick to an equally boozy pud. When ready to serve, simply reheat on the stovetop or in the microwave, taking care not to let it burn. I wouldn’t boil it though and remember, if you want to pour it over the top of the pudding and have it drip like in my photo, it shouldn’t be piping hot or it will all run off too quickly. Traditional brandy sauce is the perfect topping for a slice of Christmas pudding, or drizzle it over a fruitcake, pound cake, fruit, or other desserts. You could definitely just make the brandy sauce a bit more thick if you want it to have that effect (it will definitely taste better).And if you love brandy, you've got to try some of these gorgeous brandy butter chocolate fondants – perfect for serving to friends and family this festive season.
