Figgy pudding is a British-style pudding resembling something like a white Christmas pudding. The pudding may be baked, steamed in the oven, or boiled.

The history of figgy pudding dates back to 17th century England. The ancestor of figgy pudding (and plum pudding) is a medieval spiced porridge known as Frumenty. Today, the term figgy pudding is known mainly because of the Christmas carol "We Wish You A Merry Christmas," which mentions the pudding several times.
