Ingredients
Scale
Chocolate Mixture
- 200 g Milk Chocolate
- 50 g Unsalted Butter
- 180 g Mini Marshmallows
- 100 g Rice Krispies
Decorations
- 50 g White Chocolate
- White Sugarpaste
- Green Food Colour Gel
- Red Food Colour Gel
Instructions
- Melt Chocolate and Butter: In a saucepan over low to medium heat, gently melt the milk chocolate and unsalted butter together. Stir continuously to ensure a smooth mixture without burning.
- Add Marshmallows: Add the mini marshmallows to the melted chocolate and butter mixture. Stir until the marshmallows are fully melted and combined, creating a gooey, smooth texture.
- Combine with Rice Krispies: In a separate bowl, place the Rice Krispies cereal. Pour the melted chocolate and marshmallow mixture over them, stirring thoroughly until every crisp is fully coated. Allow the mixture to cool slightly so it can be handled.
- Form Pudding Shapes and Chill: Divide the mixture into equal portions and roll each into round ball shapes resembling traditional Christmas puddings. Place the balls onto a baking tray lined with parchment paper and refrigerate for 30 minutes to set.
- Melt White Chocolate for Drizzling: Gently melt the white chocolate and transfer it to a piping bag. Let it cool slightly to thicken for a better drizzle consistency.
- Color Sugarpaste Decorations: Tint white sugarpaste with green and red food colour gels to create festive leaves and berries. Shape them into small leaf and berry decorations for topping the puddings.
- Decorate Puddings: Drizzle the melted white chocolate over the chilled Rice Krispie puddings for a decorative touch. Top with the colored sugarpaste leaves and berries to complete the Christmas theme.
Notes
- Ensure the marshmallows melt completely to avoid grainy texture.
- Cooling the mixture slightly before shaping helps to prevent sticking and makes rolling easier.
- Use parchment paper to prevent sticking during chilling.
- Decorate puddings just before serving to keep sugarpaste fresh and colorful.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
