December 16, 2010: Xmas Pudding Bites

For the calendar month of December, Robyn picked a real seasonal recipe to display inwards the calendar.  (She also mailed me unopen to other totally master copy home-made calendar total of fab recipes for 2011 - yippee!)  Fruit puddings convey never had much of a utilisation inwards my family's Christmas traditions in addition to their heaviness doesn't appeal to me inwards our summertime setting.  But this is a recipe for bite-sized balls of choc-topped pudding in addition to I could purchase into that.  (It turns out that such mini puddings are a Christmas tradition of their ain in unopen to families.)

This sort of presentation - the ball rolling, the suspended-mid-drip white chocolate 'custard', in addition to the holly-coloured sprinkles - is fancier that what I usually run inwards for, but it's actually non besides difficult.  What I hateful is, it's non piping.  (Oh, lord, how I hate piping.)  It only calls for a knife, a teaspoon, in addition to a wee chip of patience.  And you lot larn a whole lot of cute for your efforts.

my icecream party inwards lieu of the long-gone glace cherries for the garnish.

I catch my vegan, gluten-free mini-puddings looked only every bit great, if non improve than, my commencement to a greater extent than traditional run.  They tasted pretty skilful too, though the crumbled biscuits had them a picayune sandier in addition to to a greater extent than sugary than the originals.  If you lot tin laissez passer on the sack discovery a calorie-free cake that fits your dietary constraints, I'd definitely recommend it over the biscuits.

This was the perfect calendar recipe - something I wouldn't ordinarily conduct to make, nudging me to expand my skills, amongst a rewarding lawsuit that I'd happily build again.  These only mightiness run a novel where's the beef? Christmas tradition.
