There’s something special about these autumnal puddings…Not only does the kitchen smell amazing while they are baking, they encompass everything about the wonderful tastes and flavours of this season: cinnamon, ginger, apples, walnuts and to complete it, Nature’s Charm coconut custard to serve alongside! You could swap out pears for apples, or almonds or pecans in place of walnuts if you wish. [Paid recipe in collaboration with Nature’s Charm.]
