Ingredients

  • 100g g dark chocolate
  • 400 g vegan Christmas pudding
  • 2 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 40 g white chocolate
  • 2 red glacé cherries
  • 3 green glacé cherries

Instructions

  • Cook the Christmas pudding according to packet instructions. Usually, this is for around 2 minutes in the microwave. Leave to cool.
    400 g vegan Christmas pudding
  • Melt the dark chocolate in the microwave or using a bain-marie.
    100g g dark chocolate
  • Break up the Christmas pudding in a bowl, and add the dark chocolate and maple syrup. Mix well then refrigerate for 30 minutes.

  • Take 1 tablespoon of the mixture at a time and roll into a ball, place on a tray or plate, until they're all done.
  • Chop the red glacé cherries into tiny pieces – to look like a berry. Chop the green glacé cherries into slices, to represent the holly leaves.

  • Melt the white chocolate in the microwave or in a bain-marie.
    40 g white chocolate
  • Using a teaspoon, drizzle the white chocolate onto each ball, allowing it to spill down them – if that naturally happens!
  • Before the chocolate sets, take one piece of red cherry and two pieces of green cherry and place them on top of the mini Christmas pudding, in the rough shape of holly (as pictured). Repeat until they're all done.
  • Refrigerate for 20 minutes, make sure the chocolate has set, and enjoy!

Notes

  • We found it hard to find green glace cherries in supermarket. They’re available online more widely.
  • If you can’t find green glace cherries, use Angelica. If you can’t find either, just use red glace cherries. They’ll still taste delicious.
  • Don’t be tempted to scrimp on the refrigeration time. They need to be refrigerated for at least the time stated at each step.
  • They keep in the fridge for 30 days in an airtight container.
  • They freeze well but make sure to defrost thoroughly before serving.
