Which is the best Christmas pudding in Australia?

Choice reveals whether the Aldi or Coles puddings are worth buying. - by Laura Barry
  • 13 Nov 2019

While some people opt to make their own Christmas pudding each year, many of us head towards the nearest supermarket to grab a pre-made pud for our Christmas table.

WATCH: The Choice food experts reveal the winning pudding 

However, not all supermarket puddings were created equal, and it’s hard to know which one is worth buying. Fortunately, the food experts at consumer watchdog group Choice have tried and tested the most popular puddings and revealed which is the winner.

The Choice food experts sampled puddings from 13 different retailers, ranging from budget options to high-end. While the gold-dusted puddings from Coles and Aldi have been hyped up over the past couple of weeks, only one lived up to its reputation.

While both come with a sachet of edible gold glitter and promise to be a glossy, fruit-laden dessert, it seems that Aldi’s Luxury Golden Champagne Pudding outperformed Coles Finest Luxury Pudding.

The Aldi pudding won gold in the taste test with a score of 89%, the Coles pudding scored 72%.  Priced at $10.99/900g, the Aldi Luxury Golden Champagne Pudding made with its own budget award-winning Veuve Monsigny Brut Champagne, is topped with cherries, and  gold glitter for that touch of magic.

"The Aldi pud is a bit of glitz, a bit of fun. It's a nice, rich, fruit pudding without being sticky and it's not overly sweet, which I found the Coles one to be,” says one of the Choice testers, food consultant Brigid Treloar.

"It's great value considering the generous fruit topping and it looks a bit special on the table – an easy Christmas centrepiece at a time when things can get quite busy and expensive, and all you have to do is whack it in the microwave to heat it up."
