"The British pudding comes in all shapes and sizes and in 2021 the Platinum Pudding Competition was launched to find a dessert to mark Her Majesty the Queen's Platinum Jubilee, celebrating 70 years on the throne," said Javed Patel, British Deputy High Commissioner to Bangladesh.

Queen Elizabeth II will be the first British monarch to mark the Platinum Jubilee of her reign on June 2, 2022. To celebrate the unique and significant occasion, there will celebrations taking place all over the UK and Commonwealth countries.

For all latest news, follow The Daily Star's Google News channel.

One of the outstanding celebrations, amongst many, began almost a year ago, and is still continuing to make its mark today — the Platinum Pudding Competition 2021, where a single winner had been chosen from thousands of wonderful entries of talented bakers. 

"Over 5000 entries flooded in from across the UK, reflecting the richness and diversity of modern Britain. The judges set out four criteria for the dessert to honour The Queen's 70 years of service: it tastes just right; it's perfect for home bakers; it has a memorable story; it is fit for The Queen," said Javed Patel.  

Jemma Melvin, a home-cook, had been the lucky winner of the dessert competition, with a mouth-watering recipe of Lemon Swiss Rolls and Amaretti Trifle, dedicated to the Queen and inspired by the lemon posset present at Her wedding. It is well-informed that Her Majesty has a sweet tooth and is slightly inclined towards the citrus flavour.

In order to celebrate the Platinum Jubilee in our country the British High Commission in Bangladesh has their own unique plans, one of which includes the British Deputy High Commissioner to Bangladesh, Javed Patel, recreating the winning pudding in honour of the Queen.

"The winning dessert, the Platinum Jubilee Pudding, is a lemon trifle and a personal favourite growing up. I love making trifle and today I want you all to join me in making the Platinum Jubilee Pudding to honour Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.

One of the many things that Brits and Bangladeshis have in common is our shared love of tea or chai, but no cup is complete without a wonderful pudding to accompany it," he said.

His efforts had been shared with The Daily Star, which will feature an exclusive video of the Deputy High Commissioner, assembling the winning dessert together, on 31 May, Tuesday, the week of the Platinum Jubilee Celebrations. For the Bangladeshi reiteration, however, Patel will use coffee biscuits instead of the Amaretti, as the latter has an element of alcohol in it, which is not commonly accepted in Bangladeshi cuisine.
