Frequently Asked Questions

How should I store leftovers of this Warm Carrot, Ginger & Honey Pudding?

Once completely cooled, this pudding stores well in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. For longer storage, it freezes beautifully for up to 3 months.

Can I make this Carrot, Ginger & Honey Pudding ahead of time for a dinner party?

Yes, you can prepare the batter entirely (stopping before baking) up to 12 hours in advance and keep it covered in the refrigerator. When ready to bake, let it sit at room temperature for about 20 minutes before placing it in the preheated 350°F (175°C) oven, though the cook time might increase slightly.

What is the best way to reheat this pudding to serve it warm?

To bring back that warm, comforting texture, reheat individual slices in the microwave for 30-45 seconds until heated through. Alternatively, bake a whole leftover pudding in a 325°F (160°C) oven for 10-15 minutes until warm.
