My self and another ICA member came across this chocolate
Christmas pudding on Facebook and Pinterest decided to try it for ourselves.
On further research I found that there was more than one way
to do this. So, naturally i tried both.
To make one you need. Two boxes of maltesers, one Terry’s
chocolate orange, sugar paste, red and green food colouring and some white and
milk chocolate.
Before
I began to assemble the chocolate Christmas pudding, I melted the milk and
white chocolate.
I then made some holly leaves and berry’s form sugar past.
The first way you can make this chocolate pudding
is by using some melted milk chocolate to
stick the Terry’s chocolate orange to a plate. Then take each malteser, dip it
in the melted chocolate and build upwards around the Terry’s chocolate orange.
To complete the pudding, poor melted white cholate over the top and allow it to
drip down. Then, before the chocolate is set, put the sugar paste holly on top.
Using this method you get a dome shaped pudding that is quick and easy to
assemble.
The second way you can make this chocolate pudding is by placing
the Terry's chocolate orange into a cup up to its middle. Then build the chocolate
dipped maltesers upwards. Once one half is completed, flip the pudding over and
do the same with the second half. This pudding is decorated the same way as the
first. Using this method you get a spherical shaped pudding, however it is not
as easy to get right as the first method. I had problems with the maltesers
falling off and the pudding getting stuck to the cup.
Making these chocolate puddings is an excellent Christmas activity
for the young and old alike. They make wonderful Christmas gifts and are grate
talking points at Christmas parties.
