Description

This Sunshine Peach Pudding is a comforting, old-fashioned steamed dessert that captures the essence of home-style baking. Featuring plump dried peaches rehydrated in water, this dish offers a tender, custard-like texture with every bite. The sweetness of the fruit is perfectly balanced by crunchy chopped nuts and a light cornflour base. It is an elegant yet simple way to end a meal, requiring minimal effort for maximum flavor. Ideal for family gatherings or quiet weekend treats, this pudding brings warmth and nostalgia to your table. Serve it warm for the best experience, allowing the natural juices of the peaches to mingle with the soft, steamed batter.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Place the dried peaches in a bowl and cover with 125 ml of water. Let soak for at least 30 minutes to rehydrate.
  2. Drain the soaked peaches and chop them finely. Set aside.
  3. In a small bowl, combine the cornflour and sugar, mixing until well blended.
  4. Add the chopped nuts to the cornflour mixture and stir to combine.
  5. In a separate large bowl, whisk together the beaten eggs, cream, and the soaking water from the peaches.
  6. Gradually add the dry cornflour/nut mixture to the liquid ingredients, stirring continuously to prevent lumps until smooth.
  7. Fold the chopped soaked peaches into the batter gently.
  8. Pour the mixture into a buttered baking dish suitable for steaming.
  9. Cover the dish with foil or a lid and steam for approximately 1 hour, or until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Allow to cool slightly before serving.

Note

Serve warm with a dollop of whipped cream, custard, or a fresh fruit sauce for added richness.

Dried apricots or mixed dried fruits can be used instead of peaches. For a vegan version, substitute the eggs with flax eggs and use plant-based cream.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or steamer before serving.

Ensure the steaming pot has enough water throughout the cooking process to prevent boiling dry. Check the water level halfway through.
