Ingredients
50g (1/4 cup) golden raisins, finely chopped
1 tbsp dark rum
65g (1/2 cup) slivered almonds, toasted and finely chopped
40g (1 cup) rice bubbles
200g white chocolate, melted
25g mini white marshmallows, cut into thirds
80g dark chocolate, melted
32 gold icing stars, to decorate
Instructions
- Line a large baking tray with non-stick baking paper.
- Combine chopped golden raisins and rum in a small bowl, cover, and set aside for about 1 hour to let the raisins absorb the rum.
- In a large bowl, mix together chopped toasted almonds and rice bubbles. Pour in melted white chocolate and stir until evenly coated.
- Fold in rum-soaked raisins and marshmallow pieces until well distributed.
- Using a small ice-cream scoop or tablespoon, portion out the mixture and press firmly to form rough balls. Place them on the prepared tray.
- Let the balls firm up slightly, then roll them between your palms to create smooth, even shapes. Set aside for about 2 hours, or until completely firm.
- Spoon melted dark chocolate into a small sealable plastic bag, snip a tiny corner, and pipe it over the tops of the puddings.
- Top each pudding with a gold icing star and let the chocolate set completely before serving or storing.
Notes
Swap the rum for orange liqueur or juice for a non-alcoholic version.
Add chopped dried cranberries or pistachios for color and flavor variation.
Use milk or caramel chocolate for a sweeter drizzle instead of dark chocolate.
Toasting almonds enhances their flavor, but unroasted almonds work too.
Store in the fridge for up to 1 week or freeze for up to 1 month.
