In a large bowl, combine currants, sultanas, raisins, lemon juice, lemon zest, grated carrot, brown sugar, golden syrup, mixed peel, breadcrumbs, suet, self-raising flour, stout, and eggs.
Mix until well combined.
Baking:
Spoon the mixture into individual parfait glasses or molds.
Cover each glass with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight until set.
Prepare the Whiskey Caramel Sauce:
In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and add brown sugar.
Stir continuously until the sugar is dissolved.
Add the heavy cream and whiskey, stirring constantly until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Allow the sauce to cool slightly before serving.
Assembly:
Once the pudding base has set, drizzle each parfait with the whiskey caramel sauce.
Optionally, garnish with a sprinkle of chopped nuts, a dollop of whipped cream, or a twist of citrus zest.
