Ingredients You'll Need:
For the chocolate:

Butter: This helps to give the chocolate a smooth and creamy texture.
Double cream: Adds richness and creaminess to the chocolate.
For the Christmas pudding filling:
Christmas pudding: Use your favorite brand of Christmas pudding or make your own from scratch.
Mixed dried fruit: A combination of raisins, sultanas, and currants work well in this recipe.
Brandy: Adds a festive touch and enhances the flavors of the Christmas pudding.
Ground almonds: Gives the filling a nutty texture and adds depth of flavor.
Cinnamon and nutmeg: These warm spices are essential in Christmas pudding and add a festive touch to the filling.
Instructions:
Begin by making the Christmas pudding filling. In a bowl, mix together the Christmas pudding, mixed dried fruit, brandy, ground almonds, cinnamon, and nutmeg until well combined.
Melt the dark chocolate, butter, and double cream in a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water, stirring constantly until smooth.
Spoon a small amount of the chocolate mixture into the bottom of each chocolate mold, filling them about a third of the way.
Add a small amount of the Christmas pudding filling on top of the chocolate, leaving room around the edges.
Cover the filling with more of the chocolate mixture, filling the molds to the top.
Tap the molds gently on the counter to remove any air bubbles and smooth out the surface of the chocolate.
Place the molds in the fridge for at least 2 hours to set.
Once set, remove the chocolates from the molds and enjoy!
Tips for Making the Perfect Christmas Pudding Chocolates:
Make sure to use high-quality dark chocolate for the best results.
Allow the filling to cool before adding it to the chocolate to prevent the chocolate from melting.
If you don't have chocolate molds, you can use a mini muffin tin lined with mini cupcake liners.
For an extra festive touch, you can drizzle some white chocolate on top of the chocolates once they are set.
With this simple and delicious recipe, you can create your own batch of Christmas pudding chocolates to enjoy or give as a gift this holiday season. The combination of rich dark chocolate and traditional Christmas pudding flavors is sure to be a hit with everyone. So get into the holiday spirit and indulge in these delectable treats!
