As March rolls in, London’s pubs prepare for the annual chorus of clinking Guinness pints for St. Patrick’s Day. But while a perfectly poured stout is a grand tradition, the city’s food scene is offering a more imaginative way to celebrate. This year, one dessert maker has created something for those who love Ireland’s most famous export and have a serious sweet tooth.
The team at Little Pudding has crafted a dessert that has earned the official nod from Guinness itself.
A pint you can eat
Found inside Seven Dials Market, Little Pudding has come up with a limited edition dessert, where the foundation is a gooey, chocolate-packed base, loaded with their signature doughnut pieces. Then, a full can of Guinness is poured over the tray, soaking into every corner before the pudding is baked.

Served warm, each portion is finished with a cool swirl of tangy cream cheese frosting. The topping cleverly mimics the creamy head of a pint while cutting through the richness of the stout-infused sponge. And while you’re there, you can still find their other beloved puddings, from Pistachio & white chocolate to a classic Apple crumble.
How to get your hands on this St Paddy’s themed dessert
The Guinness Pudding is available for one week only, from Monday 16 March to Sunday, 22 March. You can grab a portion at the counter inside Seven Dials Market, a food hall located in a historic 19th-century banana warehouse. It’s the perfect excuse to explore the cobbled streets of Covent Garden and try a completely new way to enjoy a Guinness.
So, gather your friends and head down to taste this approved masterpiece. It’s a sweet, malty, and memorable experience that perfectly captures the Irish spirit.
