My Mum has been making this dessert for as long as I can remember. Christmas, Easter & birthdays, ginger pudding would be there. It's so quick and easy and so tasty - a great alternative to chocolate. This pud can be made in larger quantities as you would a trifle, but I quite like the individual 80's martini glasses!

Large mixing bowl

Firstly add the double cream to your mixing bowl and whisk for about 1 minute until the cream has doubled in size but is still just pourable.

Next take your glass and it's a simple case of layering the biscuits, the pears and the cream. So starting with the ginger biscuit, roughly break it in your hands and add a little to the bottom of the glass. Next take a piece of pear and slice it before placing a slice on top of the biscuit. Next pour about a teaspoon of the pear juice on top before adding a layer of double cream.

Repeat the process so break a layer of biscuit, add the pear, juice and a layer of cream. Keep doing this until you've filled both glasses! See how easy it is! Finally dust with a little cocoa powder and then cover with chocolate sprinkles and you're done!

I hope that you enjoy it, but I've a feeling you will!
