A standard portion cut out of foil container into a dessert bowl/plate in a microwave for approximately 30-35 seconds (700w – microwaves do vary – please check) will be ready to eat serve with cream / ice cream/ clotted cream.
The whole pudding can be warmed in the oven in a bain-marie (dish of water half way up side of pudding) leaving lid in place (having removed plastic outer wrapper) for approximately 30 mins at a temperature of 120c. When warm serve with cream / ice cream / clotted cream.
