Welcome to my Christmas Recipe Countdown, where each day leading up to Christmas, I will be sharing recipes from some of my Friday Foodies, as well as a few from myself.
Be prepared for healthy, mouth watering recipes that will help you to cater for all your festive season parties, dinners and get together's. Each recipe is gluten, dairy and refined sugar free.
On day 23 of my countdown, I am featuring Raw Mini Christmas Puddings from Jessica Donovan of Energetic Mama.
What Jessica says:
"These delicious Christmas puddings are the perfect end to your Christmas meal. Light and nutritious with all of your favourite pudding flavours and they are super easy to make."
Jessica featured as my Friday Foodie back in September, where she shared her lamb and eggplant patties with carrot & pistachio salad recipe.
