Planters pride pudding
"A perennial favourite! This is a game of two halves--the flourless cake mixture and the cardamom cream, with a sauce made with the best this country has to offer. The recipe uses ground macadamia nuts, instead of flour, achieving a clean, light and nutritious mix for all ages."
