The Pudding Lady

The Original Pudding Lady

Dawn, was very close to her brother Peter. While he was away fighting in the war in Vietnam, she repeatedly prayed for his safety. Finally, when he returned home safe from the conflict, she wanted to show her gratitude. So she started making puddings and selling them to raise money for the church where she found her solace. Dawn had never made a traditional Christmas pudding, so she called on an age-old recipe from her grandmother.

Today, the Pudding Lady continues to use the same recipe created by Dawn for their traditional puddings. The company has evolved and modernised by adding new lines and responding to feedback from customers, but the recipe at the very core has stood the test of time.

Heritage

The Pudding Lady has remained a family-owned business for more than forty years. From humble beginnings, the company has grown into an iconic and much-loved enterprise developing innovative and luxurious products to suit a contemporary market. 

Tradition and care continue to drive evolution. They use the finest ingredients and precise standards - creamy butter from Australian cows, plump fruit grown and dried under the sun, finely milled flour from Australian wheat, farm-fresh eggs, distilled spirits made from Australian-grown fruits and grains and special spices from every corner of the globe.

Every pudding is hand finished, wrapped in cloth and tied with ribbon, continuing to excite and delight customers.

Modern Development

It takes a whole community to produce these traditional puddings – farmers, drivers, flour millers, fruit growers, chocolatiers and distillers all working together to ensure that pudding lovers enjoy high-quality products around Australia and the world.

As times have changed, so have lifestyles. Intolerance and allergies have meant that traditional puddings have sadly been out of reach for some. This range has grown to include sugar-free, gluten-free and vegan pudding varieties. In addition, there are two gluten-free puddings (one of which is sugar-free) for those who cannot eat grains containing gluten. 

Great Gift Ideas

The Pudding Lady has a range of gift packs and other products to say thank you, congratulations, I'm sorry, I love you, and so much more. Specialty puddings and logs are the perfect gifts, packaged with brandy custard, vanilla and brandy sauce or rich brandy butter. They make an excellent present for the hard to buy for or person.

A pudding of sweet port and plump prunes can be enjoyed any day of the year, as are delicious figs saturated in Australian OP rum and mixed with vine fruits. The sticky date pudding marries Australian honey with rich sweet dates and is cooked to just perfect. Serve warmed covered in butterscotch sauce with double cream or rich vanilla ice cream. What better gift could you ask for than one of complete satisfaction?
