MINI CHRISTMAS PUDDING TREATS



Mini Christmas Pudding Treats image

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 My brother-in-law originally made these from a magazine about ten years ago- we have been making them every Christmas since.

Time 30m

Yield 30 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

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 added
250 g white chocolate, melted
3 red decorative candies, use red snakes lollies
5 green decorative candies, use green snake lollies

Steps:

  • Crumble the fruitcake with your hands into a mixing bowl.
  • Stir 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.
  • Place the rolled balls onto a lined baking tray.
  • Melt 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.
  • Chop 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.
  • Refrigerate until the chocolate has set. Store in an airtight container and keep refrigerated.

MINI CHRISTMAS FRUIT PUDDINGS

I often get a lot of comments about these mini fruit puddings but I never give my secret away (I'm actually cheating). I don't use alcohol so I use cranberry Juice. Fun for the kids to help. This recipe was given to me from an old work mate. Thanks CC.
