Prune Pudding Recipe with Almond Crumble

Prune Pudding Recipe with Almond Crumble Top (low fat & eggless)

At a first glance of the shape of this pudding you would think this recipe is a cake, I assure you that this is defiantly a pudding!

When you taste the beautiful warm sticky texture of this delightful prune recipe you will be convinced!

My prune pudding recipe must be eaten with a spoon for full effect of the 'mmmmmmmm'!
The flavours in my recipe blend and compliment each other just as well as the textures do. When you taste the wonderful pudding next to the golden almond crumble topping you will be dipping that spoon straight back into it for another mouthful! I personally ate 3/4 of one of my puddings once in one go! Not something I do often but this recipe really does taste so good.

You would never believe it when you taste this delicious prune pudding that it is low in fat....but really it is! Also this recipe uses no eggs and with a dairy free margarine in the almond crumble it would also be completely dairy free too. An easy recipe to put together with hardly any work in it at all which means less cleaning up time.

You could put this in the oven and it would be ready for after you finished eating your dinner.

Prunes do not get enough credit for the fantastic fruit that they are but it something that should be in every ones cupboard. They have great health benefits and are perfect in sweet recipes particularly and can be used as an alternative for sugar and moisture in recipes.

Ingredients for my prune recipe
approx 1/2 Cup Couscous
Hot Water (just enough to cover the couscous)
1 small Tbsp Dark Molasses Sugar ( or dark brown)
2 Large Tbsp Honey (I used set honey)
1/2 tsp Cocoa Powder
2 tsp Soft Light Brown Sugar
Sprinkle Light Brown Sugar
Small Tin Prunes kept in friut juices(take out the seeds trying to keep the shape of the prune)
3 Small Slices White Danish Bread

Topping1/2 cup Ground Almonds
1 tsp Low Fat Margarine
1 tsp Light Brown Soft Sugar
Powdered Sugar for Dusting


Getting Started...

Place your couscous into a baking bowl and cover with hot water to about 1-2 centimetres only. Leave for 2 minutes or until the couscous plumps up and soaks up all the water. Fluff up with a fork. Don't worry if you added to much water, when your couscous plumps up just drain it off and return it to the bowl.

Add your 2 Tbsp of honey and 1 small Tbsp of dark molasses sugar, mix well. Add your cocoa powder and mix well again.

Take your small tin of prunes and make sure to take out any seeds from the prunes, try not to spoil the prunes shape they will be soft and easy to take out (do check for seeds as they are very big and NEED to be removed). Add your prunes to your bowl and stir well making sure not to mash up your prunes.
