Whisk the Irish cream liqueur with the cream and icing sugar until billowy medium-stiff peaks form. Fold through the crushed meringue and crumbled Christmas pudding.
Divide between 4 dessert glasses. Garnish with orange zest and serve with extra Irish cream liqueur poured over ice.

Tip: Our handy individual 100g Christmas puds are a perfect size for this dessert but this recipe is also great for using up leftovers from a larger Christmas pudding!
