I was recently sent all of the ingredients to create a delicious Christmas Holiday Dessert from the people at Carte D'Or. Christmas Pudding Sundaes. Because of my diabetes, desserts are pretty much off the menu for me, but there is nothing at all to stop the Toddster from enjoying all the desserts he wants. Life just isn't fair sometimes!
They arrived in the cutestly done up little basket . . .
Everything I needed plus the recipe and a voucher to go and buy the ice cream. Yum!
My photos are not the best and don't really do justice to this dessert. (I hate the natural light this time of year.) And not having tasted this myself, I can only tell you what Todd said . . . "That's really nice!"
Which translated into non man speak means . . . "That's flippin' fantastic!" He is a man of few words is our Todd . . . and if he says something is nice, he means really nice.
Quick, easy, simple to make and tasty. What more could you ask for in a holiday dessert? Not a heck of a lot I don't think!
