Just in time for the Christmas season - delicious Christmas Mince Pie Bread Pudding
I don't know about you, but I absolutely love mince pies, they are one of my favorite christmas foods, but most are pretty high in calories - a good quality teeny mince pie can be around 240 calories, that a whole lot of calories right there.
So I was determined to come up with a dessert that would be low in calories that would be perfect for the Christmas season and this will definitely not disappoint.
Infact I am really considering making up a dish of this for breakfast Christmas morning, served with some honey Greek Yoghurt - yum!!
This Christmas Mince Pie Bread Pudding uses simple ingredients - just bread, eggs, sweetener, mincemeat and icing sugar.
Pick a good quality mincemeat if you can, as the taste is so much better, most vary in calories because ingredients differ so much, so be sure to check the calories of the one you use.
For the sweetener for this Christmas Mince Pie Bread Pudding I use Sukrin Gold which is a great natural tasting sweetener that is nice and golden just like you expect brown sugar to be. I have tried many different types of sweetener in the past trying to find one that is natural and tastes natural and I think this is it. I usually just use some honey or maple syrup, but it's nice to know I can now use this and reduce the calories even further. Instead of sukrin you can use any sweetener of choice of course. But I recommend sukrin if you can get some.
Sukrin can be ordered on Amazon or from the Sukrin website: Sukrin
Click here if you live in the UK: Sukrin UK
Click here if you live in the USA: Sukrin USA
for those in Canada, I am told Sukrin will be readily available to us in the Fall.
Make up a dish of this Christmas Mince Pie Bread Pudding and take it to your Slimming Eats group taster night, or make it for dessert for yourself or maybe even for breakfast Christmas morning. It's a pretty decent sized serving too, so you can have a big serving all at once or split it up and enjoy a slice twice throughout the day - yum!!

This was a HUGE hit in our house, and felt so decadent. Both kids asked for seconds.
Tasted really light and the mincemeat added great sweetness and spice. Delicious!
