Mudcake puddings recipe
Prep: 20 minutes, Makes 24
Ingredients
600g store-bought chocolate mudcake
½ x 290g bag white chocolate melts
24 red M&M’s
Icing sugar, to dust
Method
-
Crumble mud cake and icing into a bowl, roughly break up using a wooden spoon, then use clean hands to mix and combine (making sure you break up the pieces white chocolate icing drizzle).
-
Using slightly damp hands, roll tablespoonfuls of mixture into rounds and arrange on a tray lined with baking paper. Chill for 15 minutes.
-
Melt white chocolate in a small bowl in a microwave on MEDIUM (50%) power in 30 second bursts until melted and smooth. Thinly slice each spearmint leaf into 9 small pieces.
-
Working with one ball at a time, use a teaspoon to drizzle a little melted white chocolate on top of mud cake ball. While chocolate is still wet, press in two spearmint lolly pieces to form leaves and place red M&M in middle of leaf to form holly. Continue with remaining mud cake balls, melted chocolate, leaves and M&M’s.
-
Chill 15 mins to firm, then serve dusted with icing sugar.
Tips
-
White chocolate melts set quite quickly, so it’s important to decorate one ball at a time so the chocolate is still wet when you press the leaves and M&M into it.
-
You could also use mini red M&M’s instead of normal size M&M’s as well.
