Mini Christmas Pudding Treats

5.0(4)

A great little treat that look like Christmas puddings. These little puddings are so quick and simple to prepare. They always disappear quickly. You can use orange juice or water with a little brandy essence if you do not wish to add the alcohol. Measurements are all approximations- the mixture should be moist enough to easily roll into small walnut sized balls. Use any purchased Christmas fruit cake-even home brand turns out OK. Any sized cake is OK. You can add some extra diced glace cherries if you wish. My brother-in-law originally made these from a magazine about ten years ago- we have been making them every Christmas since.

serves

700 g fruitcake, store purchased. I prefer a dark fruit cake
1/4 cup orange juice or 1/4 cup water, with some brandy essence addedwater
250 g white chocolate, meltedwhite-chocolate
3 red decorative candies, use red snakes lolliescandy
5 green decorative candies, use green snake lolliescandy

Instructions (6 steps)

01Crumble the fruitcake with your hands into a mixing bowl.
02Stir in the brandy and mix thoroughly. Add enough of the brandy (or substitute) so that the mixture will easily roll into walnut sized balls. Roll into balls using your hands.
03Place the rolled balls onto a lined baking tray.
04Melt the chocolate and drizzle over the balls to represent the custard. Use a teaspoon and let the chocolate run down the sides of the little puddings.
05Chop the snake lollies using scissors into small slices. Add two green and one red piece to the top of the puddings. Position the lolly pieces lose together, these become the holly atop of the puddings.
