Mini Christmas Puddings

Yesterday our class made miniature Christmas puddings. We used Mallowpuffs, jaffas, spearmint leaves and melted white chocolate. The jaffas and the spearmint leaves on top resemble holly leaves and berries. The white chocolate looks like custard and holds the decoration in place. After making our own, some of us wrapped them up in cellophane to take home or give as a present. Today, we helped a junior class make their own Christmas puddings. We worked with our reading buddies and they also read from their poetry books to us.

Here's how to make your own mini puddings:

You will need:

Mallowpuffs
jaffas
spearmint lolly leaves
white chocolate

Method:

1. Melt the white chocolate in a jug until smooth and spreadable.
2. Slice the spearmint lollies into small strips.
3. Take a Mallowpuff and spoon a dollop of the white chocolate on top and let it run down the sides.
4. Place a jaffa in the centre and press down to make sure it stays in place.
5. Place two spearmint strips on the white chocolate to resemble leaves.
6. Leave on a flat surface until the chocolate has set.
7. Package if desired with cellophane and ribbon, or otherwise enjoy!

Have a go at making these at home. They make great Christmas presents, or make a nice treat for the festive season.
