Lyndey’s Tip: To make these delicious puddings even more luscious serve with a drizzle of warm caramel sauce. Combine 60g chopped butter, 300ml cream and 1 cup (220g) brown sugar in a small saucepan, cook, stirring over a low heat until butter has melted and sugar has dissolved. Raise the heat a little and simmer for 3 minutes or until mixture is slightly thickened. Serve warm.
