Flame on

My loved ones won't eat Christmas pudding (acquired taste I guess), but they do want a flaming steamed pudding of some kind that goes with traditional brandy hard sauce. What's a good recipe? Definitely has to be something we can light on fire.

Maybe Nigella Lawson's Chocolate Pudding for Christmas Pudding Haters? Or Steamed Syrup Sponge?
