Method
Step 1
To make the almond praline, line a baking tray with baking paper. Place the sugar in a heavy-based saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, for 5 mins or until sugar melts and caramelises. Add the almonds and cook for 1 min or until well combined. Carefully pour evenly over the prepared tray. Cool.
Step 2
Break the almond praline into large shards. Place in a food processor and process until coarsely chopped.
Step 3
Use an electric mixer to beat butter and brown sugar in a bowl until pale and creamy. Beat in brandy or orange juice and cinnamon well combined. Beat in half the almond praline. Transfer to a serving bowl. Place in the fridge until firm.
Step 4
Heat the pudding following packet directions.
Step 5
Top the pudding with the butter mixture. Sprinkle with the remaining almond praline to serve.
