A chocolate christmas pudding is the perfect solution for those who don't like a traditional xmas pud.
I am a big fan of Christmas pudding but when I saw a picture of a chocolate christmas pudding I just had to try it for myself! It's a very popular choice!
Chocolate Christmas Pudding Ingredients:
1 Terry's chocolate orange1 box of maltesers
50g dark chocolate, melted
100g white chocolate, melted
holly as topping
The key is keeping the chocolate at the right temperature. I popped the terry's chocolate orange in the fridge for an hour first. I melted the dark chocolate until there were no bits and let it gradually cool down. This will be your glue.
I dipped each individual malteser into the melted dark chocolate and then starting from the bottom I stuck each malteser onto the chocolate orange. I created pressure using my nail rather than my finger tips as so to reduce the heat and minimise the possibility of melting the maltesers and them losing their shine. I worked my way from round all the bottom and moved upwards. I then popped the covered chocolate orange in the fridge to set.
I melted the white chocolate in the microwave for 30 secs and stirred it till there were no lumps. I continued to stir the white chocolate until the chocolate didn't easily fall back into the main mixture. I then slowly dripped the nearly set white chocolate onto the top of the covered chocolate orange and added the holly to the top.
Enjoy!
