Ingredients
Scale
- 200 g milk chocolate
- 50 g unsalted butter
- 180 g mini marshmallows
- 100 g Rice Krispies (or Coco Pops)
- 50 g white chocolate
- White sugarpaste (or pre-colored sugarpaste)
- Green food coloring gel
- Red food coloring gel
Instructions
- Make the Rice Krispie Puddings:
- In a saucepan, melt the milk chocolate and butter over low to medium heat.
- Add the mini marshmallows and stir until fully melted and combined.
- (Alternative method: Melt chocolate and butter in the microwave, add marshmallows, and microwave for 30 seconds, stirring until melted.)
- Place the Rice Krispies in a large mixing bowl. Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the Rice Krispies and stir until fully coated.
- Allow the mixture to cool slightly. Using a tablespoon, divide into equal portions and roll into pudding-sized balls (dampen hands to prevent sticking).
- Place the balls on a baking tray lined with parchment paper and chill in the fridge for 30 minutes.
- Make the Decorations:
- Melt the white chocolate in a heatproof bowl over simmering water (don’t let the bowl touch the water) or microwave until melted.
- Place melted white chocolate in a piping bag or freezer bag and let it cool slightly.
- Color sugarpaste with food coloring: green for holly leaves (use a holly leaf cutter) and red for berries (roll into small balls).
- Assemble the Christmas Puddings:
- Once puddings are chilled, snip the tip of the piping bag and drizzle white chocolate over each pudding.
- Decorate with sugarpaste holly leaves and berries while the white chocolate is still soft.
Notes
- Adjust the size of the balls for smaller or larger servings.
- For a gluten-free version, ensure all ingredients, particularly the Rice Krispies and marshmallows, are gluten-free.
